Bauer 5-Star Rating
Community Powered Federal Credit Union has been awarded the coveted BauerFinancial * 5-Star rating! A 5 Star Rating is categorized as Superior and BauerFinancial recommends our institution.
“Bauer rates credit unions based on their overall financial condition,” reports Karen Dorway, president of the rating firm, “and has been doing so for over 40 years. Having a common bond or bonds with the membership, the employees of credit unions, like Community Powered Federal Credit Union, feel a kinship and have a desire to see members grow and thrive,” continues Dorway. “Members of Community Powered Federal Credit Union probably already know this. They have the privilege of belonging to a credit union that sticks to common-sense values with members in mind. It’s important to let those who might not be aware, know that they have the strength of a 5-Star credit union right in their midst.”
Bauer uses the same strict guidelines to rate all banks and all credit unions and makes those ratings available to everyone on their website. BauerFinancial is completely independent and doesn’t get paid to rate an institution, nor can any institution avoid being rated.
This practice has earned the respect of regulators, bankers, and consumers across the United States. They have been analyzing and reporting on the industry since 1983.
