North State Bank

Thank you to the Triangle Business Journal for naming North State Bank one of the “𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸!” This award comes on the heels of being named one of the top employers in the state for the third consecutive year by Business North Carolina. President and CEO 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗗. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 shared, “This award reflects a culture we have created and nurtured for 23 years and counting. Since inception, we have held firm to the belief that banking at its highest and best is about people. Offering the best service starts with hiring, investing in, and valuing our team members. That’s what we’ve done and will continue to do. Thank you to our team for making North State one of the Triangle’s best workplaces.” The TBJ selected winners based on an employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace.

Who doesn’t love a field trip?! Our North Hills office hosted FIVE first-grade classes from nearby Brooks Elementary School. The group learned how banks serve customers and talked about some of the challenges that come up in a typical day. We had a blast answering their terrific questions, and they seemed to enjoy our candy giveaway.

Mortgage Community Outreach Officer Sondra Collins attended the Raleigh Chamber C-Suite Perspectives as a guest of keynote speaker Cheryl Scanlan. "It doesn't have to be lonely at the top" was the topic. Sondra shared, "It was an eye-opening subject to explore. It's easy to feel alone in our struggles, especially in leadership roles. Cheryl encouraged us to combat the feeling of isolation by inviting a trusted connection into your current challenge. Thoughtfully determine who has the best perspective to help and reach out."
