The Herald Citizen’s Readers’ Choice Awards are an annual celebration of the businesses and people who provide valuable services to the greater Cookeville community, and in 2025 SouthEast Bank was honored to be recognized as runner up for Best Bank for the second year.
SouthEast Bank is proud to serve the community with a blend of quality banking products, local decision-making, and personalized customer service in our two local branches, one on South Willow Avenue and one on East 10th Street.
“We are so honored to receive this from our customers, because we love our customers like family,” says Donna Robinson, Branch Supervisor of our 10th Street location. “We have a kind and helpful staff who show our customers they personally care with birthday cards, ‘get well’ cards, sympathy cards and just ‘thinking of you’ cards.”
This recognition follows our recent announcement that Julie Ashburn has been named branch supervisor of our Willow Avenue branch, the result of a tremendous and well-rounded career in the financial services industry.
