To create this list, Forbes Advisor averaged the star ratings of credit unions that were the top finishers across more than 20 of our “best of” banking studies, such as our lists of the best high-yield savings accounts, best free checking accounts and best CD rates.
Those studies analyzed more than 20 credit unions, reviewing them based on various data points, such as fees, APYs, ATM and/or branch access, customer experience, digital experience and account minimums.
