The Knox Stars Community’s Choice Awards are an annual celebration of the local companies that provide valuable services to the greater Knoxville community, and in 2025 SouthEast Bank was honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Bank category.
Previously, SouthEast Bank was a finalist for Best Bank in 2024, and winner in 2023.
Our Knoxville team is proud to serve the community with SouthEast Bank’s unique blend of quality banking products, local decision-making, and personalized customer service across four area branches: Bearden, Farragut, Fountain City, and Hardin Valley.
“It is an honor to be recognized as an outstanding financial institution by our community,” says Melissa Maciejewski, Regional Banking Manager. “SouthEast Bank looks forward to continuing to serve the needs of local families and businesses by building strong relationships and providing the best customer experience.”
This announcement follows the tremendous turnout at SouthEast Bank’s Fountain City Fall Fest on Saturday, September 27th, which celebrated the season with food, frozen treats, and family-friendly activities including pumpkin decorating, face painting, balloon art, and more. In recognition of Hunger Awareness Month, participants were also encouraged to bring shelf-stable donations collected by Second Harvest Food Bank.
A special appearance from Fountain City local and youngest winner of the Daytona 500, Trevor Bayne, added even more excitement for local racing fans!
Special thanks to everyone who helped make the day such a success, including all of our local community members who stopped by to usher in the fall season with us.
SouthEast Bank looks forward to continuing to serve Knoxville customers for many years to come.
