    The survey-based award recognizes companies that uphold three public pillars of trust

    GREENVILLE, SC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2023 / World Finance, a Greenville, S.C.-based financial services company, today announced it has been named to the inaugural World's Most Trustworthy Companies 2023 list presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
