O Bee Credit Union has been named one of America’s Best Regional Credit Unions for 2026 by Newsweek for the second year in a row.
The award recognizes O Bee’s dedication to members and its mission-driven approach to banking, according to a news release from the company.
This national accolade adds to local awards that O Bee won in 2025, including Seattle Times’ Best in the PNW for the third consecutive year, Best of the South Sound from The Olympian for the second consecutive year, and Showcase Magazine’s Best of 2025 for the sixth consecutive year.
“This recognition reflects what our Members already know to be true: O Bee is powered by people who genuinely care,” O Bee’s CEO Andrew Downin said. “At O Bee, we are more than a financial institution — we’re a partner in the communities we serve.”
Newsweek evaluated more than 4,500 credit unions using financial metrics, consumer surveys, social media reviews and press coverage to select the top 500. O Bee stood out for its focus on member satisfaction, competitive rates and active community involvement, according to the release.
