SELCO was one of just two Oregon financial institutions with perfect 5-star rating after a comprehensive research study combining financial benchmarking, a large-scale independent customer survey, and millions of digital reviews
(SPRINGFIELD, Ore) — SELCO Community Credit Union has once again been named one of “America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions” by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. This is the third consecutive year that SELCO made the annual rankings—and second straight year with a perfect 5-star rating—which honors 500 regional banks and 500 credit unions across the United States that are “delivering exceptional community-focused service, strong financial performance, and trusted digital and in-branch experiences.”
SELCO was selected from a pool of more than 8,800 banks and credit unions. This year, the Springfield-based credit union was one of just eight Oregon-based credit unions to make the rankings, and one of only two Oregon financial institutions to earn a perfect 5-star rating.
"For nearly 90 years, SELCO has focused on doing what's right for our members," said Bob Newcomb, SELCO's President and CEO. "Earning a 5-star rating from Newsweek for the second straight year-and being one of only two Oregon-based financial institutions to do so-speaks to the trust our members place in us and the commitment of our nearly 500 team members to serve them exceptionally well."
The America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions 2026 ranking is based on a comprehensive research study combining financial benchmarking, a large-scale independent customer survey, and millions of digital reviews.
Plant-A Insights Group began with an initial pool of more than 8,800 banks and credit unions, evaluated across key financial indicators including profitability, Texas Ratio (credit quality), and net loans and leases. From there, over 2,400 banks and 2,400 credit unions advanced to an in-depth customer evaluation of more than 71,000 U.S. citizens, 1.9 million social media reviews, and 129 million mobile app reviews. In all, 500 credit unions and 500 regional banks made this year's rankings.
The Newsweek ranking comes on the heels of other national recognitions for SELCO. Earlier this year, SELCO was named to Forbes’ 2025 list of “America’s Best Credit Unions in Each State,” and SELCO was one of 10 credit unions of its size nationwide to be recognized as a finalist for a Luminaries Award in Community Impact by the Credit Union Times.
