EECU Named One of America's Best Credit Unions by Newsweek for Second Consecutive Year

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second consecutive year, DFW-based credit union EECU has been recognized as one of America's Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. EECU received a 5-star rating in the recently published list, which honors the top 500 credit unions in the country making a positive impact in their communities. 

Plant-A Insights Group conducted a large-scale study of over 9,000 institutions, reviewing profitability and net loans and leases, as well as press coverage over the past two years. The study also analyzed more than 71,000 customer surveys, 1.9 million social media reviews, and 129 million Apple App store and Google Play store reviews to determine the 2025 ratings.

"Regional banks and credit unions are the financial backbone of communities nationwide as they support small businesses, fund local projects and ensure easy access to essential banking services," says Nancy Cooper, Newsweek Global Editor in Chief. "We're proud to highlight companies utilizing a community- and customer-centric approach to make a big financial impact in their neighborhoods."

EECU is one of only sixteen credit unions in the state of Texas to receive a 5-star rating and is one of just two 5-star credit unions based in Dallas-Fort Worth. EECU also improved their overall rating, increasing from a 4-and-a-half-star recognition in 2024.

"We're honored to once again be recognized alongside other outstanding institutions across the United States," said Lonnie Nicholson, EECU president and CEO. "We look forward to continuing to serve our Members and our community for many years to come."
