The recognition is based on one of the most comprehensive studies in the industry, evaluating thousands of institutions nationwide on financial health, customer sentiment, and digital reputation. More than 8,800 banks and credit unions were reviewed on:
- Financial benchmarks like profitability and loan quality
- Customer feedback from more than 140,000 respondents over three years
- Digital reputation through millions of social and app reviews
“Being named one of America’s Best Regional Banks & Credit Unions is a powerful affirmation of the work we do every day to support our members and strengthen the communities we serve. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and our unwavering commitment to delivering trusted financial guidance, meaningful community impact, and exceptional member experiences,” said Kevin Miller, chief executive officer at Travis Credit Union.
“More than financial service providers, credit unions are community partners, showing up in neighborhoods, participating in local initiatives and helping strengthen the connections that bind their members together. We hope this list helps you find the most trusted financial institutions in your area—whether you're planning your next business venture or taking your next step toward financial security,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief, Newsweek.
