WAUSAU, Wis.– Following a highly competitive evaluation of financial institutions across the country, Connexus has been named the winner of six Best Of Awards by Forbes Advisor, including Best Money Market Accounts, Best CD Rates, Best Free Checking Accounts, Best Checking Account for Dividend Earnings, Best Checking Accounts for Customer Experience, and Best Savings Accounts for Customer Experience.
“As a member-owned credit union, we’re honored to be recognized alongside many of the country’s most respected financial institutions, including PenFed, Citibank, and Alliant,” said EVP/COO Chad Rogers. “To be acknowledged across six categories for our competitive rates, low fees, robust and thoughtfully designed financial products, and best-in-class service demonstrates the incredible value we bring to our members – and inspires us to offer them even more exceptional experiences.”
In its review, Forbes Advisor highlighted Connexus’ high yields, attentive customer service, low fees, family-friendly accounts, and extensive nationwide accessibility. While not an official category, Forbes also praised the organization’s Digital Banking platform, noting the impressive rankings of the Connexus App on both the App Store and Google Play.
"The extraordinary Digital Banking partnership we've developed with Alkami Technologies over the years continues to position us as a nationally relevant and trusted credit union for our roughly 390,000 members nationwide,” Rogers said.
To select this year’s winners, Forbes Advisor analyzed “a mix of traditional brick-and-mortar banks, online banks, and credit unions,” ranking each in weighted categories including APY, fees, accessibility of funds, customer experience, and digital experience. Only nationally accessible financial institutions were considered.
