WEOKIE Federal Credit Union has been recognized and named as one of America’s top in-state credit unions by Forbes. “WEOKIE is thrilled and honored to have received this recognition.” said WEOKIE President and CEO Jeff Carpenter. “I was pleasantly surprised because I didn’t know this recognition was coming, but not surprised at the same time because WEOKIE has a long history of success both with member engagement and financial results. This is driven by an extremely talented and passionate TEAM WEOKIE, from the member-facing staff in our 13 local branches to the leadership team and dedicated group of volunteer Board and Supervisory Committee members.”
With just over 10,000 banks and credit unions nationwide, Forbes surveyed nearly 25,000 people from all 50 states inquiring about their relationship with their bank or credit union. Historically, credit unions score higher in satisfaction with member ownership and credit unions being non-profit.
“Our vision is to ‘Make a difference, one person at a time, by being the best place our employees have ever worked, our members’ most trusted financial partner, and a positive force to improve our community.’” said Carpenter. “This recognition by Forbes validates our past successes. Our new vision and mission will guide us forward so we can become a permanent name on the “Best Credit Union List” in Oklahoma and nationwide.”
