PORTLAND, ME (June 27, 2022) — To shine a light on the best credit unions in each state, Forbes went directly to the customers, partnering with market research firm Statista to conduct in-depth interviews of more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from all 50 states on their banking relationships. For every bank or credit union at which they had a checking account, customers provided an overall satisfaction score and were asked if they would recommend that bank or credit union to friends and family. Respondents also answered a detailed battery of questions focused in six separate facets of the relationship: Trust, terms & conditions (including reasonable and transparent fees), branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice. Based on a 1-100 scale, scores ranged from 74.2 to 93.6, and just 3.4% of credit unions across the country made the cut for the best-in-state rankings.
Evergreen President and CEO Jason Lindstrom states, “This award results from enhanced staff training, new technologies and our constant focus on delivering every day the experience our account holders expect, whether in person or online. We’re obviously thrilled.”
Evergreen Credit Union is the 5th largest in the state based on asset size, serving all Southern Maine.
Evergreen Credit Union has assets of over $515 million, ranking fifth among Maine-based credit unions. The credit union was founded in 1951 to serve employees of the S.D. Warren Paper Mill in Westbrook and has grown to service six counties in southern Maine.
