Westerra Credit Union Secures Two Industry Accolades

Posted by on March 5, 2025

Westerra Credit Union

Demonstrating its financial strength and stability, Colo.-based Westerra Credit Union announced it has been named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions for the second year in a row. This prestigious accolade accompanies the credit union’s achievement of earning a top (5-star) rating from BauerFinancial.

“It’s an honor to be recognized for our commitment to our members and the larger Denver community,” said Daniel Kutch, CFO at Westerra. “This success is, in many ways, a direct result of our exceptional employees. Their dedication has been the driving force behind our growth, shaping Westerra into the thriving credit union it is today.”

Newsweek, in partnership with Plant-A Insights Group, conducted an in-depth analysis to determine America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions for 2025. The study evaluated profitability, net loans and leases, and press coverage over the last two years in addition to an independent customer survey of over 71,000 U.S. citizens.

BauerFinancial, the nation’s leading authority on credit union and bank ratings, evaluates federally insured credit unions using stringent and consistent standards. These trusted ratings come from analyzing detailed financial reports submitted to federal regulators, ensuring an independent and accurate assessment.

Known for supporting its members by “teaching one another to prosper” since its inception 91 years ago, these notable ratings are a testament to Westerra’s commitment to financial excellence and the continued trust of the community it serves.
