CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 21, 2026--

Fifth Third (Nasdaq: FITB) has been recognized among the World’s Most Admired Companies™ by Fortune Magazine for the third consecutive year.

“It is an honor to once again be named to the Fortune list of Most Admired Companies,” said Tim Spence, chairman, CEO, and president of Fifth Third. “This recognition affirms our strategy of driving sustainable results for shareholders, investing in the communities we serve and creating an environment where our employees can succeed.”

The magazine’s annual ranking of corporate reputation spotlights the best-regarded companies across more than 50 industries domestically and globally.

From a list of the 1,500 largest U.S. and global companies by revenue, the rankings are based upon a poll of more than 3,700 executives, directors and analysts administered by global management consulting firm Korn Ferry. Poll respondents rate companies in their own industries based upon nine criteria of corporate performance and reputation such as long-term investment value, quality of management, innovativeness, and ability to attract and retain talent.

Fifth Third is consistently recognized as a leader among banks. In 2025, Fifth Third was named “U.S. Best Super-Regional Bank” by Euromoney and recognized among “America’s Most Innovative Companies” by Fortune. Fifth Third was also included on the following lists: Forbes “Best Employers for New Grads,” The Digital Banker and Global Private Banker “Best Private Bank for High Net Worth Clients,” and Global Finance “Best Treasury and Cash Management Bank,” to just name a few.
