U.S. Bank has been the most essential bank amid COVID-19, according to the new ranking by The Harris Poll. In The Essential 100: Company Reputation Amid COVID-19, the company ranked No. 64 overall and first among all banks.
Published on June 12, the ranking is based on a national survey asking Americans their opinion on how companies have responded to the pandemic on several factors:
“When they needed it the most, Americans put their trust in the business community to help them through COVID-19,” said John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll, in a press release. “We’ve seen widespread approval of the corporate response to the pandemic – whether pivoting to different goods and services, reinforcing supply chains, or seeking cures for the deadly virus.”
U.S. Bank has responded to the pandemic in a variety of ways to help customers, employees and communities, including: modifying personal and small business products for customers; instituting a premium pay program for front-line employees; expediting community giving programs; and other changes.
In a message, U.S. Bank Chairman, President and CEO Andy Cecere wrote, “Our entire team has rallied around each other, our customers and our communities, and it is a tremendous honor to work with them as we fight this pandemic. We stand together, and we are focused on keeping people healthy and safe – personally, professionally and financially.”
