UnitedOne Credit Union has been ranked as the second best credit union to work for in the United States by American Banker. This marks the third year in a row that UnitedOne has placed in the Top 10, moving up from sixth place in 2024 and seventh in 2023.
The credit union, which operates branches in Manitowoc and Sheboygan, is also the highest-ranked Wisconsin institution on this year’s list. The rankings recognize 68 credit unions nationwide, covering organizations with staff sizes ranging from under 30 to more than 2,100 employees.
One Nevada Credit Union took the top spot for 2025. That institution manages $1.5 billion in assets and employs 187 people.
UnitedOne has a staff of 91 and manages $310 million in assets. Among credit unions with asset sizes between $200 million and $500 million, it was ranked first.
“It’s a privilege for UnitedOne Credit Union to be recognized once more,” UnitedOne CEO Kim Rooney said. “Thanks to the dedication of our Leadership Team and Board of Directors, we've created a workplace culture that inspires our employees to thrive. Their passion and commitment create exceptional experiences for our members, who remain the driving force behind our mission.”
Founded over 85 years ago as a not-for-profit financial cooperative, UnitedOne continues its mission to improve local communities through volunteer efforts, financial education programs, direct support initiatives, and collaboration with other community-focused organizations.
The methodology behind American Banker’s ranking involves two surveys: one measuring employee satisfaction completed by staff members themselves, and another reviewing each organization’s benefits and workplace policies.
UnitedOne’s approach includes community engagement initiatives as well as benefits such as pet bereavement leave and grandparent bonding leave. New hires have access to an inclusive onboarding program with flexible schedules, remote work options, and individualized support. The organization also provides ongoing training opportunities designed to help employees advance their careers within the company.
UnitedOne Credit Union offers services to individuals living or working in Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Kewaunee, and Door counties. It serves both consumers and small- to mid-sized businesses. More information can be found at www.UnitedOne.org.
