Investing in the Success of its Members since 1926
Woodbury, Minnesota - January 2026: Ideal Credit Union, Woodbury, MN is proud to announce it is starting 2026 with another 5-Star Superior rating from BauerFinancial, the Nation’s Premier Credit Union and Bank Rating Firm. A 5-Star Superior rating indicates that Ideal Credit Union is one of the strongest credit unions in the nation, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, stability and more. This marks the 52nd consecutive quarter that Ideal Credit Union has earned this top rating, (that’s over 13 years!), securing it an even more elite status as an “Exceptional Performance Credit Union”, a distinction reserved for those that have maintained a 5-Star rating for at least ten years (40 consecutive quarters).
“Because credit unions put their focus squarely on their membership, they are perfectly positioned to provide the specialized support that is unique to their niche,” assures Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Credit unions, like Ideal Credit Union, invest in the success of their members one at a time. By fostering these relationships, they accomplish two goals: they are typically highly capitalized, and they are accountable to their members.”
Established in 1926, Ideal Credit Union has been investing in the success of its membership for 100 years. Today, its focus remains as it always has, to meet the needs of members, even as those needs evolve.
