**Burlington, VT – Forbes named Vermont Federal Credit Union as the best credit union in Vermont in their first-ever “America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions” list.**

![Forbes 2018 Best-in-State Credit Unions logo](https://www.vermontfederal.org/hs-fs/hubfs/images/news/Forbes.png?width=300&name=Forbes.png)Vermont Federal Credit Union was one of 145 credit unions to be recognized by Forbes in their inaugural [Best In State Credit Unions](https://www.forbes.com/best-in-state-credit-unions/list/) list, and the only credit union in Vermont to be named. This honor places the Credit Union amongst only 2.4% of financial institutions nationwide to earn the recognition. The Credit Union was selected based on a survey of more than 25,000 bank and credit union customers in the U.S., including our market area. The survey focused on participant’s opinions of their current and former banking relationships.

Forbes article stated, “The banks and credit unions were rated on overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five subdimensions (trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services and financial advice).”

“This is a tremendous honor for Vermont Federal Credit Union and we thank those who voted for us. It is due to our incredible staff who earned this recognition by meeting the needs of our members every day and fulfilling our mission to make a decided difference in the lives of our members” stated Vermont Federal Credit Union President and CEO, Jean Giard.
