O Arizona é o lar de um dos melhores bancos do país, segundo a Forbes.
A tradicional revista de negócios revelou, essa semana, sua lista de "Melhores Bancos da América" de 2018 e o Western Alliance Bancorp (NYSE: WAL), sediado em Phoenix, ficou com a segunda melhor posição no ranking.
“Our hands-on, customer-focused approach continues to contribute to strong performance,” Robert Sarver, Western Alliance chairman and CEO said in a statement. “Western Alliance’s depth of leadership, combined with clients’ access to decision-makers, plus our energy and drive, work together to propel our organization forward. We are pleased to again be recognized as a top bank by Forbes.”
This marks the third consecutive year Western Alliance has landed in the top 10 on the Forbes list. It has steadily climbed in the rankings during that time, rising from No. 10 in 2016 to No. 4 in 2017 and No. 2 this year.
Western Alliance scored well in the rankings for "its return on average assets and net charge-offs as a percent of average loans," according to Forbes. "With a focus on Arizona, Nevada and California, the bank was hammered by the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. The stock bottomed at $3 a share in 2009 but has rebounded to top $58."
Forbes compiled the annual rankings by crunching data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. It analyzes data regarding growth, credit quality and profitability of the 100 largest banks and thrifts by assets, according to the publication.
Western Alliance Bank operates full-service banking divisions: Alliance Bank of Arizona, Bank of Nevada and First Independent Bank, Torrey Pines Bank and Bridge Bank.
