ALEXANDRIA, La. – Red River Bank has been named to the 2025 Best Banks to Work For list, a ranking compiled by American Banker in partnership with Best Companies Group to highlight institutions with strong workplace cultures.
The list recognizes 90 banks based on an anonymous employee survey and a review of benefits and workplace policies. Red River Bank ranked No. 51 in the 2025 results.
“The banks recognized as Best Banks to Work For are institutions employees want to join and stay,” said Chana Schoenberger, editor in chief of American Banker. “They understand how to give workers reasons to find purpose in their jobs.”
Blake Chatelain, president and CEO of Red River Bank, said the recognition reflects the company’s emphasis on culture. “We’re Your People isn’t just a slogan, it’s a promise to our team and our community,” Chatelain said. “We’ve built a culture where growth, respect and care are more than values, they’re daily practices. Receiving this award affirms that our people-first approach continues to make a meaningful impact.”
The evaluation process included a review of workplace practices, policies and demographics, which accounted for 25 percent of the score. The remaining 75 percent was based on employee survey responses. Banks eligible for participation must have at least 50 U.S. employees and at least one year in operation.
