# Kiplinger's Chooses Hanscom FCU as Best Credit Union in America

** [Hanscom Federal Credit Union](https://go.hfcu.org/blog/author/hanscom-federal-credit-union) ** Jul 13, 2018

![IMG_9729-b](https://go.hfcu.org/hubfs/IMG_9729-b.jpg)

We're excited to announce that *Kiplinger's Personal Finance* magazine has named Hanscom Federal Credit Union as their #1 Credit Union in America in 2018. The magazine identifies top picks among national, regional, and internet banks, as well as credit unions anyone in the U.S. can join.

“We’re thrilled to receive this national recognition from *Kiplinger’s*,” said Paul Marotta, Hanscom FCU’s Chairman of the Board. “Hanscom FCU strives to provide our members with the best service there is for their day-to-day banking needs, and we offer financially sound products that help our members reach their personal goals, whether home ownership, debt reduction, wealth building, and more. To have *Kiplinger’s* acknowledge our dedication to our members by naming us ‘Best Credit Union’ in America this year is an honor.”

“Fees on deposits keep rising, and many banks are dragging their feet when it comes to raising yields on savings and other accounts,” said Mark Solheim, editor, *Kiplinger’s*. “But we found banks and credit unions that still aim to do right by their customers.” To narrow the list, *Kiplinger’s* concentrated mostly on how well the banks deliver low fees and balance minimum investments and high rates but also took note of other useful features—like free identity-theft monitoring services.

The complete rankings are available at [Kiplinger's online](https://www.kiplinger.com/article/saving/T005-C000-S002-the-best-bank-for-you-2018.html) along with in-depth profiles of the selected institutions. The ranking will be available in print in the August 2018 issue of the magazine, on newsstands July 17th.

Of course, all this wouldn't be possible without our members, who are our #1. A very big thank you from all of us for choosing Hanscom Federal Credit Union as *your *credit union.
