For the second year in a row, Hanscom Federal Credit Union was named the “Best Credit Union in the U.S. That Anyone Can Join” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine.

The August 2019 issue has identified its top picks among national, regional and internet banks, along with credit unions that offer the best combinations of high rates on deposits, low fees and a customer-friendly focus.

The Kiplinger’s report praised Hanscom FCU for its array of free or low-cost accounts that offer strong rewards and good interest rates, focusing specifically on its Free Kasasa Checking and innovative CU Thrive 12-month automated savings program.

“This national recognition is a testament to the quality work that our employees perform each day,” David Sprague, Hanscom FCU’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Kiplinger’s was diligent in asking questions and investigating our products and services. The commitment we have to our members and the thoughtful decisions behind making ours a healthy and successful credit union are deserving of this recognition.”

The $1.3 billion-asset Hanscom FCU serves over 89,000 members across the country and overseas through 21 branches.

In-depth profiles of the selected institutions are available online and will be available in the print edition of the magazine on newsstands July 16.
