America's Top Financial Services Providers of 2026: Credit Unions and Digital Banks Dominate

TIME partnered with Statista to survey over 20,000 consumers in the US on their financial service providers. The top companies were ranked in their relevant categories. Many of the top financial services providers are credit unions, such as Navy Federal Credit Union, State Employees Credit Union, and Suncoast Credit Union. These institutions are popular due to their community-based approach and more favorable terms. Americans' banking habits are changing, with a shift towards digital wallets and digital-first banks like Acorns, Ally, Chime, and Venmo-owner PayPal. Legacy banks and fintech companies are adapting to meet consumer demands.
