April 26, 2022
KINGSPORT, TN – Eastman Credit Union earned a top-ten ranking in Callahan & Associates’ recent report of credit unions returning the most value to members.
“At ECU, we strive to put members first, but this quantifies the level of service we provide. It is a testament to our dedicated employees who work hard every day to make sure every decision puts our members first,” said Kelly Price, president and CEO of Eastman Credit Union.
According to the year-end 2021 report analyzing Return to Member (ROM) scores, ECU ranked first among all Tennessee credit unions and eighth among over 400 credit unions nationwide with over $1 billion in assets.
The ROM scoring system serves as an industry benchmark that looks beyond traditional regulatory measures and focuses on the member. According to Callahan & Associates, ROM looks at the core credit union functions: Return to Savers (savings), Return to Borrowers (lending), and Member Participation (product usage).
