The personal finance resource and website analyzed and scored credit unions across the nation based on various factors, including product selection, APY offerings, account fees, customer service offerings, total assets and more.
GOBankingRates awarded Patelco 4.5 out of five stars. They had this to say, “Patelco Credit Union offers a complete array of financial services products to allow you to do all of your banking in one place.

Members can take advantage of shared branches and ATMs, as well as online and mobile banking, to do their banking anywhere in the country.”
“We’re honored to be at the top of GOBankingRates’ Best Credit Unions of 2022 list,” said Erin Mendez, president and CEO, Patelco Credit Union. “Our members’ financial health and well-being is our top priority, and it is rewarding to be recognized for those efforts by a personal finance website also dedicated to empowering people to make informed financial decisions.”
