Members tell Forbes: NWCU is the #1 Credit Union in Oregon

In Forbes Magazine’s 2022 annual ranking of the Best-In-State Banks and Credit Unions, Northwest Community Credit Union is the number-one ranked credit union in Oregon!

Members can be proud of this ranking—we’re in a select group of credit unions. Of the 5,400 credit unions nationwide, only 3.4% were recognized by consumers as stand-outs in service performance.

Forbes and market research firm Statistica ranked credit unions and banks nationally, using customer survey data, scoring overall recommendations, satisfaction, and five additional service factors (trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, and financial advice).

I am deeply thankful to members for choosing us. We celebrated with displays on inbranch screens and billboards and staff recognition surprises. I could not be prouder of our teams, as they consistently bring a personal touch to financial services.

The Forbes ranking also set the stage for our first public announcement (July 2022) of a proposed strategic and collaborative merger with TwinStar Credit Union of Lacey, WA. Unusual for credit unions of our size and performance—TwinStar CU also consistently ranks as a leader in Washington credit unions—the plan to merge is designed to leverage TwinStar and Northwest’s exemplary services. These first plans took shape in 2022; Northwest members will vote in 2023, following regulatory approval.
