Twenty-one credit unions receive Crystal Performance Awards from Raddon based on key performance metrics in the only nationwide benchmark of its kind

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., November 18, 2021 - Raddon® , a Fiserv company and provider of innovative research, insightful analysis and strategic guidance to financial institutions, has announced the winners of the 2021 Crystal Performance Awards. Twenty-one credit unions from around the country received the award this year, segmented by those under or over $1 billion in assets. These institutions are among the top three percent of those whose results and metrics are analyzed by Raddon each year.

"Our team has worked very hard to provide our members exceptional products and personalized service in the face of uncertainty and many challenges," said Steve Koenen, President and CEO at Altra Federal Credit Union. "For our efforts, it's rewarding to be recognized once again as a Crystal Performance Award Winner. I'm proud of what we have accomplished and value the coaching and expertise from our Raddon partner."

Each recipient credit union was selected based on an analysis of key performance metrics focused on service, member relationships, sales and other areas as observed within the Performance Analyticsprogram from Raddon. By benchmarking performance against their peers, credit union leaders can understand their competitive advantages, and develop more effective strategies and approaches to member service.

"We've worked with Raddon for many years, and our focus on meaningful service paired with meaningful metrics has earned us a place among Crystal Performance Award winners for ten years running," said Heather Luciani, CEO at Marshall Community Credit Union.
