For 2021, financial services consultant Greenwich Associates recognized Zions Bancorporation with 27 Excellence Awards in middle market and small business banking. In addition, Zions was awarded Best Brand – Trustworthiness, Best Brand – Ease of Doing Business and Best Brand – Values Long-Term Relationships in the middle market and small business categories. Greenwich Associates annually conducts market research interviews with 25,000 businesses nationwide, evaluating more than 600 banks. Since Greenwich Associates began recognizing the top banks in 2009, Zions Bancorporation is one of only five banks to have averaged 15 or more Excellence Awards. Our stakeholders include our clients, our employees, the communities we serve, and our shareholders — the owners whose capital has been entrusted to us. Our community banking model is focused on local leadership and customer relationships, and we take pride in knowing our clients and their businesses, which is reflected in our award recognition described above. Our employees are given multiple channels to communicate directly with our executive management team, including our CEO and president. These include our quarterly all-employee calls with open question-and-answer sections, town hall meetings, and listening sessions across our footprint. Our president frequently offers his phone number and invites calls and emails, as well as the opportunity to submit questions and suggestions at any time through links on all of our Zions Bancorporation intranet sites.
