SeaComm is being recognized as one of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, who identify companies that are committed to powering local economies by supporting small businesses, financing community projects, and providing reliable access to everyday financial services.
“We are extremely proud to have been selected for Newsweek's 2026 Best 500 Credit Unions list across the US,” said SeaComm President and Chief Executive Officer Scott A. Wilson. “We know we do a great job for our members based upon our own benchmarks; however, it is always great to be recognized by an outside organization that independently rates financial institutions against others. Newsweek is a respected publication, and having our name affiliated with that brand makes it even more meaningful.”
America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions ranking is based on a comprehensive research study that incorporates in-depth desk research, a large-scale nationwide survey, and millions of online reviews to identify the 500 best regional banks and 500 best credit unions in the country. More than 8,800 banks and credit unions were considered in an initial review that measured them across key financial benchmarks that include profitability, Texas ratio, and net loans and leases.
“More than financial service providers, credit unions are community partners, showing up in neighborhoods, participating in local initiatives and helping strengthen the connections that bind their members together,” said Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Cunningham. “We hope this list helps you find the most trusted financial institutions in your area – whether you’re planning your next business venture or taking your next step towards financial security.”
SeaComm meets the financial, lending, and insurance needs of more than 56,000 members with nine branches located throughout the North Country and Vermont. Founded in 1963 with headquarters in Massena, SeaComm has a current asset size exceeding $780 million, and remains dedicated to providing its members with the highest level of service along with giving back to the community.
