Newsweek Magazine rankings based on member feedback and institution’s financial health
MADISON, Wis – Newsweek Magazine’s 2024 list of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions included Madison-based Summit Credit Union as one of the top 250 credit unions. The rankings were based on a mix of consumer/member input and financial performance and stability factors.“We’re honored to be included among Newsweek’s top credit unions, not only because it is based in part on reviews by our own members, but also because our financial strength and stability was part of the award criteria,” said Kim Sponem, CEO & President of Summit Credit Union. “Newsweek’s team looked at factors such as our financial reserves and ability to absorb economic downturns, strong lending activity, and reputation in making this group of America’s best credit unions.”Newsweek partnered with research company Plant A Insights Group to compile the list based on an analysis of the financial health and stability of 9,440 institutions, 35,000 customer interviews and more than 149 million online reviews and applied a rigorous methodology to their selection process.“As financial cooperatives owned by their members, [credit unions] foster a sense of shared ownership and responsibility. This unique structure translates into a commitment to the financial well-being of its members, often resulting in lower fees, competitive interest rates, and a more flexible approach to lending,” said Nancy Cooper, Newsweek’s global editor-in-chief.
