Superior Choice Credit Union

This year Superior Choice Credit Union won in the category of best bank. AVP-Marketing and Sales Annie Lepper explains one of the main reasons why they won the prize as best bank is they are not a bank. When you call a credit union a bank the average credit union worker is likely to give you the same look as a science teacher when you just pronounced “nuclear” as “nu-cu-lar”. Annie explains the difference. “All credit unions are member-owned. We take particular pride in our members/owners getting the best everyday value on all the products and services we offer,” Annie said. So, Annie believes being a credit union already cuts down the possible candidates for best financial institution. What makes her institution stand out among the remaining finalists? “We are always looking at our fees and services and how we can price them competitively, how can we provide better services, and stay on top of technology,” Annie said. Because of their status as a credit union and these specific steps, Annie believes they are a “Superior Choice.”
