We’re excited to announce that Centra has been recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions for 2026. This prestigious award is presented in partnership with Statista, a leading global provider of market data and industry rankings. The award list was announced on June 19, 2026, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.

The America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2026 ranking is based on an independent survey of thousands of U.S. consumers, as well as publicly available reviews. To be eligible, credit unions must have received a minimum number of evaluations, with awarded institutions averaging more than 635 evaluations. The ranking focuses on institutions that operate in 14 states or fewer and are not online-only providers, underscoring the importance of strong regional and community-based financial relationships. Institutions are evaluated based on key criteria including customer satisfaction, trust, financial advice, digital services, terms and conditions and member service. Rankings are determined by analyzing overall performance and member sentiment, with top-performing credit unions in each state recognized. The number of awarded institutions varies by state, based on population size and the number of eligible institutions meeting the evaluation threshold.
