Carlsbad, NM – June 2023: BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nation’s Premier Credit Union and Bank Rating Firm, proudly acknowledges that U-1st Community F.C.U. has earned its highest, 5-Star rating for financial strength and stability. This latest rating was assigned in June 2023 based on March 31, 2023 financial data and not only marks U-1st Community F.C.U.’s 64 consecutive Recommended Rating (5-Star or 4-Star) from Bauer, it also signifies that U-1st Community F.C.U. is one of the strongest credit unions in the nation.

“As a member and an owner, you need to trust that your credit union will be there for you when you need it,” notes Karen Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “We’ve all seen what can happen.
