Washington Trust Bank, the largest privately held full-service commercial bank in the Northwest, joins the ranks of Oregon’s 2024 Most Admired Companies. The annual list, compiled by the Portland Business Journal, reflects the opinions of top executives in the region who were solicited for their perspectives on the most outstanding companies in 11 categories. Washington Trust Bank finished fifth among 32 financial service institutions.
“This recognition by the people we serve every day is a true honor, and it is a testament to our teams at Washington Trust and the strong relationships that they build,” said Mike Williams, regional president, Oregon and Southwest Washington. “Since our founding in the Pacific Northwest more than 120 years ago, we’ve been focused on doing right by our clients and our communities, and we’re proud to be a trusted and admired partner for fellow Oregonians.”
“We are honored to be ranked among Oregon’s most admired companies in the Portland Business Journal’s 2024 list,” Cory J. Allen, SVP and Team Leader at the Bend Branch adds. “This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service, building trust, and supporting our communities. As a bank, we are proud to continue growing alongside the businesses and individuals who inspire us every day.”
Washington Trust Bank was recognized among other honorees at a special luncheon event held December 12 at the Hilton Portland Downtown and will be featured in a special edition of the publication. Each year, in June and July, the Portland Business Journal surveys top executives, gathering their votes for the companies that stand out in several distinct categories, including financial services.
