Banks that respondents did not use themselves produced a notably different reputation leaderboard in RepTrak's 2026 survey than results from customers. Northern Trust took the top spot among non-customers with a score of 73.8, followed closely by Western Alliance Bank at 73.4 and Synovus Financial at 73.3. The gap between the non-customer and customer rankings highlighted the difference relationships with a bank made in shaping its perceived reputation. New concerns over artificial intelligence and a deregulatory environment, however, have heightened the importance of conduct and responsibility according to the study, with respondents expressing less willingness to trust banks to fix problems when something goes wrong. RepTrak's survey found that professional conduct was the most important reputation driver among noncustomers, followed by products and services. ## 20\.
