NORWICH — NBT Bank has earned a spot on the Forbes World’s Best Banks list released on April 13, and is the highest ranked bank based in New York and the highest ranked bank in Connecticut and Vermont.

NBT is one of only 75 banks in the United States to be included on this list, out of the tens of thousands of financial institutions globally that are able to be considered for the recognition.
