Since 2017, Forbes has listed the country’s best in-state credit unions and banks. They partnered with Statista, a reputable market research firm, to create such a list. The two organizations surveyed approximately 31,000 people all across the country.

Statista asked people about their financial institutions and evaluated them based on certain criteria. These include customer service, fees, quality of financial advice, and other metrics. Additionally, reviews posted on Google Reviews from March 2020 and April 2023 were added into consideration.

Ultimately, about 147 credit unions and 137 banks entered the list. Community 1st Credit Union ranked #1 for the state of Iowa, beating out four other Iowa-based financial institutions.

Meanwhile, Community 1st Credit Union was also acknowledged in the 2023 Best of Southern Iowa reader’s choice poll by the Ottumwa-based newspaper The Ottumwa Courier. C1st was voted number 1 on their best bank and credit union categories. The newspaper has been around since 1848 and conducts this annual poll.
