A nationwide survey of more than 26,000 U.S. residents evaluated credit unions based on satisfaction, trust, customer service, digital tools, transparency of fees, and the quality of an institution’s financial advice
(SPRINGFIELD, Ore) — For the second consecutive year, SELCO Community Credit Union has been named to Forbes’ list of “America’s Best Credit Unions In Each State.” The 2026 ranking marks the fifth time in seven years SELCO has earned a spot on the prestigious list as one of the top Oregon credit unions.
Of the nearly 4,500 credit unions operating in the U.S., SELCO was one of only 246 nationwide and one of just five in Oregon that made the 2026 list. By ranking third among all Oregon credit unions that met the survey criteria, SELCO maintained its top-tier standing, matching its 2025 ranking and reinforcing its consistent reputation for service excellence and member satisfaction.
“Our place on this list is so meaningful because it reflects the trust our members place in us every day,” said Bob Newcomb, SELCO’s President and CEO. “SELCO continues to rank highly because we remain true to our member- and community-driven focus, prioritizing local relationships, service, and long-term value. We’ve worked hard to pair innovative digital tools and financial guidance with the kind of personalized service people can only get from a local institution that genuinely cares about the communities it serves.”
The rankings were based on an independent survey conducted by Statista, a leading market research firm, which polled 26,000 U.S. residents with checking or savings accounts. Financial institutions were scored on overall satisfaction, trust, customer service, digital tools, quality of financial advice given, and whether fees are transparent and reasonable. Additionally, Statista gathered more than 1.2 million publicly available reviews and ratings online about each bank and credit union written between February 2023 and March 2026.
To highlight the most community-focused institutions, nationwide banks and credit unions with locations in 15 or more states were excluded from the rankings.
