Virginia Beach, VA – Chartway Credit Union is proud to announce it has been named one of the 2025 Best Credit Unions to Work For and will be recognized by the national publication, American Banker, for this honor. This annual program, established by Best Companies Group—a research firm that surveys companies to provide valuable feedback on recruitment and retention—was created to identify, recognize, and honor the best employers on workplace culture and business influence.

“Our team members are the foundation of everything we do at Chartway,” said Brian Schools, president & CEO of Chartway Credit Union. “Their commitment to our culture, values, and each other is what makes this recognition possible. We’re proud to be named one of the Best Credit Unions to Work For for the fourth straight year because of the passion and purpose our team brings to work each and every day.”

Credit unions from across the United States entered the two-part survey process to determine Best Credit Unions to Work For. The first part, which accounts for 25% of the total evaluation, consisted of evaluating each nominated credit union’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part, which makes up the remaining 75%, consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top credit unions and final rankings across the country.

To be eligible, participating credit unions must employ a minimum of 15 team members and have been in business for at least one year. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data, and determined the final rankings.

Through the Best Companies Group program, Chartway was also recognized this month as Best Places to Work-Utah for a second consecutive year. Earlier this year, the credit union was also named as Best Places to Work-Virginia. Chartway serves more than 260,000 members through a branch network spanning parts of Texas, Utah, and southern Virginia.
