For the second year in a row, Arizona Financial has been recognized by Forbes magazine as a Best-in-State Credit Union in Arizona. This prestigious award by Forbes and Statista Inc., a market research firm, is based on a survey of 26,000 individuals and an analysis of online ratings and reviews. 

America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions ranking lists the institutions that stood out for fulfilling the unique financial needs and expectations of their local communities thereby being most valued by residents of each state.

“We are honored to be recognized by Forbes as one of America's best credit unions,” said Amy Hysell, president and CEO of Arizona Financial. “This achievement reflects our commitment to providing exceptional service to our members. We are grateful for the trust they place in us, and we take great pride in supporting the communities we serve by offering affordable banking solutions to individual consumers and small business owners.”

The ranking is based on an independent survey of over 26,000 customers in the United States. Participants evaluated credit unions on several criteria, including trust, financial advice, customer services, digital services, branch services, and terms & conditions. In addition, Statista conducted a sentiment analysis using publicly available reviews and calculated each institution’s score.
