UECU Awarded Best of Bauer for 34 Consecutive Years

BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nation’s Premier Credit Union and Bank Rating Firm, has announced that UECU has once again earned its top (5-Star) rating for financial strength and stability. Having earned Bauer’s (5-Star) rating continuously for 138 quarters, UECU has also earned Bauer’s highest designation as a “Best of Bauer Credit Union.” This designation is reserved solely for institutions that have earned Bauer’s top rating for a minimum of 25 years consecutively.

Bauer rates every federally-insured U.S. credit union with the same strict standards, and is honored to report that UECU continues to earn its top rating. “As a member-owned credit union, UECU keeps its focus on its field of membership (or FOM)”, remarked Karen Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “The employees of UECU are people just like those in its FOM. That means, whatever its members are going through, the employees are likely going through the same thing, whether it be fires, floods, acts of nature, or simply an empty lot that is begging for a ballfield. They are unflinchingly by your side to help that better future come to fruition.”

UECU has been a dedicated partner for its members for 90 years. Making connections and supporting its field of membership is what it does, and what it has done since 1934. A 5-Star rating from Bauer shows confidence that UECU has the financial strength to continue to do so.

UECU Added to the List of the 100 Best Credit Unions in America

Bankdash, a personal finance news and research publication, has added UECU to their list of the 100 best credit unions in the nation. In an effort to help consumers find a quality credit union they could join, Bankdash compiled the list using a methodology that solved for institution stability and quality and value delivered to credit union members over multiple years. They applied this methodology to thousands of credit unions across the US, examining over 25,000 data points spanning several years. Out of a total of 5,204 credit unions in the US, UECU was identified as one of the top 100. Bankdash looked at several key areas including asset size, number of members, net worth per member, deposits per member, and dividends paid to members. In a press release published on July 8, 2022, Steve Wilson, Editor at Bankdash shared, “We believe that all consumers should include credit unions in their investigation of financial products and services and our hope is that this list eliminates a substantial barrier to being able to identify quality credit unions.”

UECU membership is now open to utility and energy industry employees nationwide, as well as Pennsylvania residents through PACC, the Pennsylvania American Consumer Council.
