First United Bank and Trust Company has once again been named to American Banker’s “Best Banks to Work For” list, marking the 2nd year in a row for the achievement. First United ranked 2nd among Kentucky banks.
“We are both proud and honored to again be named as a 2023 Best Banks to Work For recipient,” said J. Jason Hawkins, CEO of First United Bank. “First United Bank is dedicated to the success of our employees, our customers, our communities, and our shareholders. Our employees continually go the extra mile in making each of our communities a better place to live and work, and this award is a testament to those efforts.”

American Banker determines the ranking in collaboration with Best Companies Group. The ranking relies on two sources. The first is a survey that employees of the applicants complete that measures different areas of workplace satisfaction, such as their views on overall engagement, training and development, and work environment. The second part is a review of each applicant’s policies and benefits.
“The banks recognized on this list are trying hard to create workplaces that employees want to join,” said Chana R. Schoenberger, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker. “Especially during this moment when companies are experiencing a shift in how, where, and how much employees work, banks are paying attention to how they can best retain their people.”
