Northern Credit Union Named One of America’s
Best-In-State Credit Unions by Forbes
Watertown, NY – Northern Credit
Union is honored to announce its inclusion on the prestigious 2025 Forbes
list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions – an honor awarded to only a
small number of credit unions in New York. This achievement is a testament
to our loyal, dedicated and member-centric internal-owner employees and is
the direct result of their unwavering commitment to delivering smart
financial guidance, personalized service, and continuous innovation to our

Each year, Forbes
partners with market research firm Statista to identify the best credit
unions in each state, based on an independent survey of more than 26,000
U.S. residents. Respondents rated their financial institutions on critical
factors such as trust, transparency, digital services, member support, and
the quality of financial advice. Public sentiment and online reviews from
the past three years were also considered, ensuring that the rankings truly
reflect the voice of the members.
“We are
incredibly proud to be recognized by Forbes as one of America’s best credit
unions,” said Dan St. Hilaire, President & CEO of Northern Credit
Union. “This honor reflects our team’s dedication to putting members first
