Why CPCU’s 5 Star Rating Matters to You

5/4/2026

These are the words displayed in the lobbies of every CPCU branch, highlighting our 5 Star rating from BauerFinancial. It is a distinction we are proud to share with our members. It serves as a daily reminder that your money is in safe, steady, and trustworthy hands.

But what exactly is BauerFinancial, and what does a 5 Star rating really mean?

BauerFinancial is an independent company that evaluates the financial strength of U.S. chartered banks and federally insured credit unions with 1.5 million dollars or more in assets. Their ratings are based on each institution’s quarterly financial reports and are issued without any outside influence. This means no one can pay for, apply for, or manipulate their rating. It is a completely objective measure of financial health.

With more than 40 years of experience, BauerFinancial has built a reputation for being secure, strong, and reliable. These are values that align closely with our own.

So what does CPCU’s 5 Star rating mean for you?

Simply put, it reflects our financial strength and stability. BauerFinancial’s ratings indicate how well a financial institution is performing and how securely it operates within regulatory guidelines. A 5 Star rating is their highest designation and is reserved for institutions that are considered superior in financial performance and stability.

For you, that means confidence. It means knowing your money is protected, your credit union is well managed, and your financial future is supported by a strong and dependable partner.
