For the sixth consecutive year, Genisys Credit Union has been recognized by Forbes as a premier credit union in Michigan. This distinction is part of Forbes' annual "America's Best-In-State Credit Unions" for 2025.

“This recognition belongs to our members and our communities," said Jackie Buchanan, President and CEO of Genisys Credit Union. “At Genisys, our mission extends beyond financial services; we aim to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives, from financial empowerment to community enrichment.”

Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey 26,000 US consumers. Participants were asked to rate banks and credit unions where they have a checking or savings account and evaluate these institutions based on the following criteria: trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice. Genisys rose to second place in Michigan, a testament to their member-first approach and long standing commitment to excellence.

What sets Genisys apart is their deep-rooted commitment to local communities. Through their Committed to Community approach, Genisys partners with over 250 community partners and nonprofit organizations each year to support programs that create opportunities for families and individuals to thrive.

“Our partnerships go beyond sponsorships; they’re built on a shared purpose,” said Buchanan. “Whether it’s helping families find stable housing and resources, fostering inclusive opportunities for individuals of all abilities, supporting animal rescue efforts, or curating financial literacy initiatives, our partnerships are based upon a commitment of strengthening the communities we proudly serve.”

In a culture of people helping people, the team at Genisys works to ensure a strong financial foundation in order to create an environment that supports member success. The credit union gives back with its Genius High Yield Checking Account, which pays an annual percentage yield (APY) of 6.75% and offers debit card rewards. For those 18 and under, they have a High Yield Youth Savings with an APY of 5.12% on balances up to $500. “This program aims to help our youngest members learn the importance of financial literacy by growing their savings,” said Buchanan. “Financial knowledge and capability are key in empowering an individual to reach their goals for financial freedom and choice - it’s never too early to start that education.”
