SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (WNAX) – For the second year in a row, CorTrust Bank has been named “Best Bank in South Dakota” by Forbes Magazine. That was based on a survey of bank customers in each state.

CorTrust C.E.O. Jack Hopkins says they believe its due to their employees and a focus on customer service.

Hopkins says they don’t know when those surveys are taken.

Hopkins says working with customers during the pandemic has been challenging.

CorTrust has banks in 16 South Dakota communities and 15 Minnesota towns.
