RADCLIFF, Ky.–Abound Credit Union has been named Credit Union of the Year by NAFCU.
Winners of NAFCU’s Annual Awards competition are chosen by a committee of peers based on entries exemplifying above-and-beyond achievements, dedication, service in the community and leadership. Abound Credit Union will be honored during NAFCU’s Congressional Caucus in Washington, D.C. Sept. 11-14.
Abound last won the Credit Union of the Year award in 1994.
Specifically, Abound Credit Union was awarded Credit Union of the Year (assets more than $250 million) based on its commitment to consumer education, impact on the community, and adherence to principles of sound financial judgement.
ACU’s ongoing leadership in financial education has continued to expand, with Abound’s youth programs now reaching thousands of Kentucky students from elementary school through college. Abound’s adult financial education programs are also reaching more Kentuckians than ever before through new community partnerships and annual events, such as Veterans 2 Entrepreneurs.
Abound’s donation-matching program, which was launched just after devastating tornadoes struck portions of Kentucky in December 2021, is another notable example of the organization’s commitment to community and contributed to the 2022 Credit Union of the Year recognition.
