Jackson, MI - American 1 Credit Union, serving five counties in southern Michigan, receives Forbes Best-In-State Credit Union Award 2023, one of five selected institutions in the state of Michigan based on member-driven criteria.
Forbes, in partnership with Statistica, evaluated regionally based credit unions on the following criteria:
Member Surveys: Statistica surveyed approximately 31,000 people across the country and asked participating parties to name credit unions where they have a checking and savings account. Participants evaluated the institution based on customer service, the quality of financial advice advisors offered, whether fees are transparent and reasonable, ease of website navigation, on-location branch services, and the overall level of trust the institution inspired. The member surveys accounted for 80% of the scoring criteria.
Online Reviews: Forbes & Statistica used Google reviews left between March 2020 and April 2023 as part of their evaluation, using member feedback and ratings, accounting for 20% of the scoring criteria. American 1 Credit Union has an impressive 4.9-star rating on a 5-star scale across their 16 branches’ Google My Business pages.
