We are honored to share that Alaska Air Group Credit Union was awarded a top spot among America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions in 2025 by Newsweek. In sharing the recognition, Newsweek stated, “This recognition highlights the exceptional work you’re doing to serve your customers and communities.”
The methodology for determining this list utilizes the Texas Ratio, profitability, net loans, and any media coverage including reviews and social media.
The Texas Ratio measures a bank or credit union’s credit quality by evaluating non-performing assets, divided by the tangible common equity and loan loss reserves. In simpler terms, it evaluates if a financial institution has credit problems and how well it is positioned to cover losses. Alaska Air Group Credit Union has a strong Texas Ratio of 0.50%, meaning we have a low risk and manage credit well.
Given all of these metrics, Alaska Air Group Credit Union received a 5-star rating by Newsweek’s America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions 2025 ranking.
