Glendora, Calif. (October 16, 2026) — America’s Christian Credit Union, a faith-based financial institution serving Christian families, schools and churches nationwide, has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions 2026 list with a five-star rating.
More than 8,800 institutions were screened on financial benchmarks, including profitability, adjusted Texas ratio, and net loans and leases. Finalists were then evaluated in a nationwide survey of more than 71,000 U.S. customers across 12 dimensions, such as customer service, perks and benefits, and fees and interest rates. Researchers also analyzed 1.9 million social media reviews and 129 million mobile app reviews. Plant-A Insights Group accepts no applications or payment for placement.
“This recognition belongs to our members and the ministries we serve every day,” said Vicki VannBerstein, president and CEO of America’s Christian Credit Union. “It confirms that a credit union built on Christian stewardship can deliver the service and value families and churches deserve.”
America’s Christian Credit Union’s recognition reflects:
