Alliant Credit Union named "Best Overall Credit Union" in MONEY's Best Banks of 2026-27 Awards

CHICAGO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliant Credit Union today announced it has been recognized in MONEY's Best Banks of 2026–27 Awards, earning the title of "Best Overall Credit Union" among the nation's leading credit unions. The recognition underscores Alliant's continued commitment to delivering competitive rates, exceptional service, and low-fee banking products to nearly one million members nationwide.

For its 2026–27 Best Banks rankings, MONEY evaluated account terms from 300 of the largest U.S. banking institutions, including national and online banks, credit unions, and regional and state banks. The evaluation focused on flagship accounts for everyday customers, with particular emphasis on competitive interest rates, customer service, and low or no fees.

Alliant's recognition as "Best Overall Credit Union" reflects the organization's ongoing efforts to reimagine what members should expect from their financial institution. As a member-owned cooperative that anyone can apply to join, rather than a shareholder-driven bank, Alliant has built its reputation on returning value directly to its members through better rates, fewer fees, and a digital-first banking experience.

"Being named 'Best Overall Credit Union' by MONEY is a meaningful validation of the work our team does every day to put our members first," said Mike Dobbins, CEO of Alliant Credit Union. "Alliant proves that a financial institution can deliver the strength and scale people expect from a bank with the personalized, human-focused service they deserve. This recognition is a reflection of that mission, and we remain committed to raising the bar for what people should expect from their bank."

This latest honor adds to a growing list of accolades for Alliant, which is regularly recognized as a top-rated credit union by CNBC, NerdWallet, Forbes, WSJ Buyside, and other leading financial media outlets. With more than 90 years of history, Alliant continues to combine the resources of a major financial institution with the member-first values of a cooperative.

MONEY's Best Banks rankings are closely watched by consumers seeking trustworthy guidance on where to bank, particularly as more Americans look beyond traditional banks for better rates, fewer fees, and greater value. Alliant's "Best Overall Credit Union" ranking signals to prospective members that the organization continues to deliver on its promise of tangible financial value paired with personalized support that helps members move forward financially.
