Suffolk Credit Union has been named the #1 credit union on Long Island and the #2 credit union in New York State in a recent report from Forbes, cementing the Medford-based institution’s mission of delivering better banking for Long Island.
The distinction comes from Forbes’ fourth annual report of America’s Best Credit Unions in each state in partnership with research firm Statista. This year, nearly 25,000 Americans were surveyed to determine their level of satisfaction with their current financial institutions.
Forbes said that only 3.6% of all credit unions in the country made this year’s list.
“It is an incredible honor to have been named the best credit union on Long Island and one of the best in the state,” said Michele Dean, CEO and President of Suffolk Credit Union. “We strive to always provide the best possible products and service for our members and are thankful to our members for their recognition of that effort. The Forbes study is humbling and inspires us to keep improving as an organization.”
Scoring was determined based on members’ overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five subdimensions that included trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services and financial advice.
The news comes on the heels of Suffolk’s recently announced community charter expansion by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). This expanded charter will now allow the local NY credit union to offer its banking services in Nassau County, NY.
Suffolk Credit Union is a full-service financial institution headquartered in Medford, New York, with 10 branches on Long Island.
