Ottumwa, IA – For the second year in a row, Community 1st Credit Union has been named on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions for the state of Iowa.  This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

Forbes and Statista identified America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions based on an independent survey of approximately 26,000 US consumers who were asked to rate credit unions at which they have or previously had checking/savings accounts. Participants shared their opinions regarding overall satisfaction in six different areas: Trust, Terms & Conditions, Branch Services, Digital Services, Customer Services, and Financial Advice.  In addition, for each credit union in each state, Forbes and Statista analyzed reviews and ratings that were publicly available online.
