Local member-owned financial cooperative TopLine Federal Credit Union has been named “Best Credit Union” in Twin Cities Business Magazine’s annual “Best of Business” contest. The magazine’s yearly survey asks their readership, “Which companies exemplify true excellence in their respective industries and would they confidently refer to a family member, friend or colleague?” and published results in its September issue and online, according to a press release.
In naming TopLine as Best Credit Union, the magazine pointed to multiple considerations, including: the credit union’s Sum-It-Up Savings program, which creates an electronic piggy bank of savings for customers by rounding up their purchases to the nearest dollar; its website, which contains advice on financial planning for every stage of life; and the fact that the company’s recently received a “Diamond Award for Financial Education” from the Credit Union National Association.
“We’re honored to be recognized as the best credit union by the readers of Twin Cities Business Magazine,” TopLine President and CEO Tom Smith said in the release. “We would like to thank our member-owners, as they have supported us as we built TopLine’s reputation for excellence through innovative services and programs that do more than just meet our members’ immediate financial needs. And it’s really our family of employees’ passion for assisting members with their entire financial journey, from opening their first checking and savings account, to buying a car or home, or building a small business. We’re here for our members and community every step of the way to help them reach their financial goals.”
