WICHITA, KA (December 15, 2025) |
Credit Union of America (CUA) has officially been named the number one credit union in the United States in its asset class for returning financial value to members. This recognition, issued by Callahan & Associates, is based on third quarter 2025 data and ranks CUA highest among 208 credit unions in its peer group.
The recognition comes from Callahan & Associates’ Return of the Member (ROM) Index, a nationally respected and data-driven benchmark used throughout the credit union industry. The index provides an objective measurement of how well credit unions deliver benefits to their members, drawing on federally reported data to evaluate financial impact across savings, lending, and service participation.
CUA earned the highest ROM score in its category, a reflection of its long-standing commitment to friendly, member-first service that delivers meaningful impact across all areas. In the most recent analysis, the credit union paid dividends that were more than one and a half times the peer average and recorded a three-year member growth rate of 4.93 percent, which is more than two and a half times higher than similar institutions.
CUA’s leadership in auto lending was also a key contributor to this recognition. According to Experian’s most recent report in November 2025, Credit Union of America is once again ranked as the number one auto lender in Kansas based on total volume.* This continued performance reflects CUA’s success in offering low-rate auto loans and delivering accessible, high-value financial solutions that members actively rely on.
With more than 90 years of history serving Kansans, Credit Union of America continues to honor its purpose as a trusted, member-focused cooperative. The credit union remains committed to delivering solutions that empower members to succeed, grow, and achieve long-term financial well-being.
