Xceed Financial Credit Union receives top rating from lending evaluator of financial institutions
EL SEGUNDO, CA (July 28, 2014) — Xceed Financial Credit Union has received a five-star rating from BauerFinancial, Inc., the nation’s leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm. The rating earned by Xceed Financial is the highest possible and is based on objective financial data provided to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the governing body for credit unions.
“Our members rely on us to operate conservatively, and to manage the Credit Union in ways that ensure their nest eggs are safe,” said Teresa Freeborn, President and Chief Executive for Xceed Financial. “This independent rating and recommendation demonstrates that our members’ trust in us is well-placed.”
BauerFinancial has been analyzing and reporting on the financial condition of the nation’s banks and credit unions since 1983, basing its ratings on data such as an institution’s capital levels, loan delinquencies, reserves, regulatory compliance, and asset quality. No institution pays for its rating, and no institution can avoid a rating.
“Credit unions are not-for-profit institutions that exist for the sole purpose of serving their members,” reminds Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Credit unions, like Xceed Financial Credit Union, that have been able to earn and maintain Bauer’s top rating for strength and security reflect that deep-rooted sense of loyalty to their membership.”
