Forbes 2026 list of America's best in-state credit unions includes Centra

COLUMBUS, Ind. - Centra Credit Union recently announced that it has been recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions for 2026.

The America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2026 ranking is based on an independent survey of thousands of U.S. consumers, as well as publicly available reviews. To be eligible, credit unions must have received a minimum number of evaluations, with awarded institutions averaging more than 635 evaluations.   

The ranking focuses on institutions that operate in 14 states or fewer and are not online-only providers, underscoring the importance of strong regional and community-based financial relationships.

Institutions are evaluated based on key criteria, including customer satisfaction, trust, financial advice, digital services, terms and conditions, and member service. Rankings are determined by analyzing overall performance and member sentiment, with top-performing credit unions in each state recognized.   

“I’m proud of Centra and our more than 400 Team Members who show up every day ready to create a valuable banking experience for our Members,” Centra President and CEO Brad Davis said. “That dedication is truly evident, and I want to thank all our stakeholders for their continued trust and Membership in our organization.”
