Stockman Bank Named One of the World’s Best Banks by Forbes

April 20, 2026

Stockman Bank is once again honored by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Banks for 2026. This is the fifth consecutive year Stockman has been recognized by Forbes. Stockman was one of only 72 American banks on the list, and the only Montana bank to be included. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on April 8, 2026, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.

“Being acknowledged for five consecutive years and being the sole bank from Montana featured on this impressive list is a remarkable honor,” said Bill Coffee, Stockman Bank CEO. “This award holds particular significance for us, as it showcases the trust our customers place in our ability to serve them and take care their financial needs. It also reflects the expertise and commitment of our employees, who consistently prioritize the needs of our customers, supported by dedicated local management and quick decision-making.”

Survey participants were asked to name all banks where they have or previously had a checking or savings account. The participants evaluated the bank on several criteria: Trust, Terms & Conditions, Customer Service, Digital Services, and Financial Advice. Based on the customer evaluations a score was calculated for each bank. In every country, the banks with the highest score in their respective countries were awarded.
