CoVantage Credit Union has been rated the best credit union in Wisconsin.

Forbes recently released its list of America’s Best Credit Unions in Each State after surveying 25,000 people in the U.S. about their banking relationships.

The scoring was based on overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five additional categories; trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, and financial advice.

“While CoVantage has earned other awards in the past, it’s rewarding to be ranked best, especially during challenging times like today,” said Charlie Zanayed, CoVantage Credit Union CEO. “We are grateful to our member-owners for their continued loyalty and support and are thankful for our staff who carry out our simple mission every day. Even while providing patronage, outstanding value, and exceptional service, our credit union is able to remain financially strong. For CoVantage to be recognized as an award-winning cooperative by our member-owners for living our mission and doing good, is especially gratifying.”

CoVantage Credit Union, with headquarters in Antigo, Wisconsin, has $2.5 billion in assets and serves over 130,000 members across all of its locations.

Founded in 1953, the financial cooperative serves members living or working in 30 counties in Wisconsin and three counties in the U.P. of Michigan.
