Recognition That Reflects Our Mission

It’s been an exciting few months for Park Community Credit Union. In a short span of time, we’ve been recognized by community leaders, industry peers, and national media. The honors may look different, but they all point back to the same thing: how we invest in the people we serve, and the people who make that possible. 

Forbes Best-In-State Credit Union

Park was named one of Kentucky’s Best-In-State Credit Unions for 2026 by Forbes, based on feedback from thousands of consumers nationwide and evaluations of trust, customer service, digital experience, financial guidance, and fee transparency. It’s a recognition that reflects what we work toward every day: putting members first.

Recognized Close to Home 

Recognition means even more when it comes from the communities you call home.  

This year, Park was named a Bronze winner in Best in Lexington, Silver winner in Best in Madison County, and a Top 3 finalist for Best Credit Union 2026 in the Louisville Courier Journal Community’s Choice Awards.  

From the Bluegrass to Louisville, these honors are especially meaningful because they reflect the communities where our members live, work, and build their lives — and where our team shows up every day to serve them.  

Corporate Philanthropist Honoree

Park Community Credit Union and the Park Community Foundation were named a 2026 Corporate Philanthropist Honoree by Louisville Business First. The honor recognizes our ongoing commitment to building thriving communities through financial inclusion and supporting underserved neighborhoods across Louisville and beyond. 

Top Employee Benefits Award

Park was also recognized with Mployer’s 2026 Top Employee Benefits Award, an independent rating that benchmarks our benefits package against more than 75,000 plans nationwide.  

Park’s plan landed in the top tier, with outstanding marks for employer contribution and plan design on medical coverage. The package also includes savings options to help offset future healthcare costs, along with a robust lineup of voluntary benefits like wellness programs and an Employee Assistance Program.  

The Common Thread

Different honors. Different voices. One common thread.  

Whether it’s the communities we support, the trust our members place in us, or the way we invest in our own team, Park’s recognitions this year tell one story: people come first. 

Thank you to our members, team members, and community partners who help make that possible.
