At HFS Federal Credit Union, we’re honored to be named the Best-in-State Credit Union in Hawaiʻi by Forbes for 2026, achieving the highest ranking in the state. This recognition marks our eighth appearance on the Forbes list.
This ranking, developed in collaboration with market research firm Statista, is based on feedback from approximately 26,000 U.S. residents. It evaluates various factors, including trust, service, digital experience, financial guidance, and fee transparency, along with publicly available reviews.
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it is entirely driven by our members. We don’t solicit votes or promote ourselves for this award; instead, it reflects the authentic experiences and voices of the people we serve every day. As a credit union, we have always believed in showing up for our members with personalized service and genuine care. While expectations for financial institutions continue to evolve, our focus remains the same: building trust, communicating clearly, and supporting our members through every stage of life.
“To be named one of the best credit unions in the state by Forbes is an honor that validates our strategic vision—a vision grounded in our team’s unwavering dedication to doing what is right for our members and community. This recognition would not be possible without the support and partnership of our members.”
– Nathan N. Abe, President/Chief Executive Officer
