For a third year in a row, Forbes named Dupaco Community Credit Union one of the top-rated credit unions in America in its ranking of in-state financial institutions.

Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey nearly 25,000 U.S. consumers about their opinions on current and former financial relationships. Banks and credit unions were rated on overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five other areas: Trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services and financial advice.

Forbes recognized only 317 U.S. banks and credit unions, including three in Iowa. Only institutions receiving the highest ratings were awarded the title “Best-In-State.”
