Frontwave Named Best Credit Union in San Diego Reader Poll Two Years Running
November 3, 2021
Oceanside, CA — Frontwave Credit Union has been named San Diego’s Best Credit in the 2021 San Diego Reader’s Best-Of Poll.
Each year, the San Diego Reader invites San Diegans to nominate their favorite businesses, restaurants and activities to be named to the Best-Of list. The top 5 nominees in each category then go head-to-head in a month-long voting process. This year, hundreds of thousands of votes were cast and Frontwave was honored to be selected as the Best Credit Union in San Diego! In addition, Frontwave Credit Union was named runner-up in the Best Mortgage Company category.
“There are a number of terrific financial institutions in our community so it’s a huge honor to be voted as the best of the best,” said Bill Birnie, President/CEO for Frontwave Credit Union. “For nearly 70 years, we’ve been committed to making financial dreams come true. This recognition affirms that we are delivering on our vision to be the best place our Members have ever banked. It’s all thanks to our marvelous Dream Makers who demonstrate their commitment and dedication to our Membership and the communities we serve every day.”
This is the second consecutive year Frontwave Credit Union has taken the top spot in the annual San Diego Reader poll. The full results of the poll were published in its special October 21 Best-Of issue, distributed to businesses, stores and restaurants throughout San Diego County.
