Tustin, CA (June 17, 2025) |
SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union in California and the largest serving school employees and their families in the U.S., has landed as No. 1 on Forbes’ 2025 list of the Best Credit Unions in California. America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2025 ranking lists the financial institutions that stood out for fulfilling the unique financial needs and expectations of their local communities. This is the seventh consecutive year SchoolsFirst FCU has been No. 1 on the list of top credit unions in the state.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our Members who trust us to help them achieve financial well-being,” said Bill Cheney, chief executive officer of SchoolsFirst FCU. “We are grateful for their loyalty and appreciative of our team's commitment to delivering World-Class Personal Service and safeguarding our Members’ financial future.”
Presented by Forbes in partnership with research firm Statista Inc., the ranking is based on two sources. 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 in each state for each credit union. In each state, the credit union with the highest combined score from the analysis of survey results and publicly available reviews was awarded.
