America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2024 ranking lists the financial institutions that stood out for fulfilling the unique financial needs and expectations of their local communities, thereby being most valued by residents of each state. The ranking is based on two sources. First, Statista completed an independent survey of approximately 26,000 U.S. residents who were asked to name all credit unions where they have a checking/savings account and rate the credit unions in six different subdimensions: Trust, Terms & Conditions, Branch Services, Digital Services, Customer Services, and Financial Advice. Second, Statista developed a sentiment analysis of publicly available online text reviews and ratings for each credit union in each state. In each state, the credit union with the highest combined score from the analysis of survey results and publicly available reviews was awarded.
