LOMBARD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 21, 2018-- Raddon^®, a Fiserv company and provider of innovative research, insightful analysis and strategic guidance to financial institutions, today announced the winners of its annual Crystal Performance Award for credit unions. Twenty-two credit unions have earned the award in 2018, based on benchmarked data from Raddon. These represent the top three percent of more than 500 credit unions analyzed over the past year.

Award recipients were honored at the Raddon CEO Forum after being selected based on in-depth analysis of financial statements, sales figures, service metrics and member relationship data.

“Every year, our team looks forward to the Raddon CEO Forum and Crystal Performance Awards,” said Darin Moody, CEO, Utah First Credit Union. “This is the fourth year that we’ve been recognized as a Crystal Performance winner – it’s extremely validating to have our hard work earn us a spot among the top credit unions in the country based on the outcomes we deliver for our members.”

The Crystal Performance Awards are an extension of Performance Analytics from Raddon, which provides institutions of all asset sizes detailed analysis of key performance indicators, recommendations on growth opportunities and peer-benchmarked data that provides a clearer view of the marketplace as a whole. The awards are presented each year at the Raddon CEO Forum, an invitation only event that focuses on economic trends, consumer preferences, branding considerations and other timely industry topics.

“Credit Union leaders across the country value the Crystal Performance Awards because they are based on tangible results, stemming from smart strategy and execution,” said David Irwin, president, Raddon. “Credit unions that earn a place in a Crystal Performance class exemplify the best of our industry – based on their own performance, as well as strong comparison to their peers.”
