Appearing on the list at No. 30, Columbia Bank moved up four rankings since its 2011 debut, sliding ahead of institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. The list, ranking 100 of the largest publicly traded banks and thrifts in the country, also placed Columbia Bank as the second best headquartered in the Pacific Northwest.
“We are honored to be listed so favorably amongst the nation’s banks and those in our Pacific Northwest community,” said Melanie Dressel, president and CEO of Columbia Bank, in a press release. “We strive to be the best community bank in each of the communities we serve. This recognition can be attributed to our ongoing commitment to providing businesses and individuals in the Northwest with a strong and secure community bank.”
