This survey was then combined with a sentiment analysis of publicly available online text reviews and ratings.

In each state, the credit union with the highest combined score from the analysis of survey results and publicly available reviews was awarded. The survey portion of the ranking accounted for 80% of the score, with the reviews making up the remaining 20%. And when the results were tallied, 
UKFCU was named as a Forbes Best-in-State Credit Union.
