KCCU wins renowned Newsweek “America’s Best Credit Unions” award 

Battle Creek, MI (January 8, 2026) |

KCCU is proud to announce they have been honored for the third consecutive year as one of  America's Best Credit Unions for 2026 by Newsweek, placing them in the top 500 credit  unions in the nation! 

This award recognizes KCCU’s strong community impact and commitment to their vision of  “providing financial opportunity, choice, and lifelong value to our members and our  community.” 

Newsweek, in partnership with the market research firm Plant-A Insights Group, assessed over  8,800 banks and credit unions, obtained feedback from over 66,000 U.S. customers, and  evaluated over 82 million online reviews. In their results, they spotlighted the top 500 credit  unions in the United States on Newsweek.com, and KCCU is honored to be named on this list!  Credit Unions were highlighted in their own category as being recognized that they are a  financial cooperative owned by their members.

Plant-A Insights Group based their assessment on factors of the financial institution’s profitability, lending activity, overall financial health and stability, operational performance,  and reputation. 

“We are honored and thrilled to receive the America’s Best Credit Union award from  Newsweek for the 3rd year in a row! This award reflects our unwavering commitment to  delivering exceptional value and service to our members, so they are empowered to achieve  their financial goals,” said Tracy Miller, CEO of KCCU. “We are deeply grateful for the  dedication of our team and the continued trust and loyalty of our outstanding members.” 

“More than financial service providers, credit unions are community partners, showing up in  neighborhoods, participating in local initiatives and helping strengthen the connections that  bind their members together,” said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek.
