Local Credit Union Earns impressive Georgia recognition

The awards keep coming for a local credit union. If you are one of the 200,000-plus SRP members in the CSRA, you are part of the best of the best according to Forbes magazine.

The Forbes List of America’s BestInState Credit Unions 2025 recognizes institutions that are most valued by residents in each state and have excelled in meeting the unique needs and expectations of their local communities.

Accepting the award given prior to Thanksgiving were the following SRP executives:

Back row, left to right – Kevin Toole, Chief Lending Officer; Douglass Morris, Chief Technology Officer; Greg Gibson, Chief Financial Officer; and Luis Alejandro, Chief Internal Audit Officer.

Front row, left to right: Shana Reid, Chief Development Officer, and Liz Ponder, Chief Executive Officer.

“This award reflects our members’ trust and our team’s constant dedication to the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People,’” said Liz Ponder, CEO of SRP Federal Credit Union. “Being recognized as the top credit union in Georgia and one of the best credit unions in the nation shows we are committed to providing comprehensive financial services to our members and making a positive impact in the communities where we live and operate.”

The award is based on an independent survey of over 26,000 customers in the U.S. Participants evaluated credit unions on several criteria—including trust, financial advice, customer services, digital services, branch services, and terms & conditions—as well as a sentiment analysis conducted from publicly available reviews.

SRP was recently named the 2024 Large Business of the Year by the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce and the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce. For more information, visit www.srpfcu.org.
