Aug. 15, 2025 (Olympia, Wash.) – WSECU has been named a top credit union in Washington state on the Forbes Best-in-State Credit Unions list for 2025, the fifth consecutive year it has earned a place on the prestigious list. WSECU is the only credit union to land on the list all five years the list has been published.

“Credit unions are such a powerful assets to the communities they serve and we are honored to be on the list for five years running,” said Ann Flannigan, VP of Public Relations at WSECU. “We’re proud to stand beside our peer credit unions as we work together toward a common goal – taking care of members and lending a hand in our communities.

Flannigan added that consumers have many exceptional credit union options for their banking and the Forbes list is a guide to find a not-for-profit cooperative in their community.

“We know our peer credit unions work hard for their members like we do, so to have our members call out their satisfaction and recognize WSECU year after year is humbling and only continues to reinforce the work we’re doing,” Flannigan said.
