2026 Top Workplaces Award

Provident Credit Union has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2026 honor by Axios, marking the 10th consecutive year of receiving this recognition. This honor is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, to name a few.

"While you can open checking accounts, CDs, and mortgages at any financial institution, what makes Provident unique is our team," said Jim Ernest, Provident Credit Union President and CEO. "Our employees are among our most valuable assets."
