Tucson Federal Credit Union Earns Top 2026 Arizona Business Honors; CEO Matthew Gaspari Selected for AZ Business Leaders 2027

Tucson, AZ – March 24, 2026 – Tucson Federal Credit Union (TFCU) announced this week a series of significant 2026 recognitions honoring both the institution and its leadership, earning top placements in Arizona’s most competitive business rankings and reinforcing the credit union’s standing as a trusted financial partner across Southern Arizona.

TFCU was named one of the Top 10 Credit Unions in Arizona for 2026 by Ranking Arizona — the state’s largest and longest-running business opinion poll, powered by public vote. The distinction represents direct, community-driven affirmation: Arizona residents and business professionals cast votes across hundreds of business categories statewide, and TFCU’s Top 10 placement reflects the depth of trust its members and the broader public have placed in the institution.

Separately, WalletHub, one of the country’s leading independent financial research platforms, named TFCU among its 2026 Best Credit Unions in Tucson. The national recognition is grounded in data-driven analysis of rates, fees, member services, and accessibility, further affirming TFCU’s leadership position in the local financial services landscape.

TFCU President and CEO Matthew Gaspari, MBA, was selected for the 2026 edition of AZ Business Leaders, published each December by AZ Big Media and reaching 25,000 Arizona executives, C-suite decision-makers, and industry influencers statewide. The honor is particularly meaningful because honorees are not self-nominated: selection begins with nominations from C-level executives across the state, with final decisions made by the magazine’s editorial board in consultation with respected Arizona business leaders and industry experts. Gaspari’s inclusion reflects the regard his peers hold for his leadership, influence, and impact on the financial services industry and Southern Arizona community.

“Our purpose is to empower people and improve lives across Pima County, with our members remaining at the center of every decision we make. Being recognized by the broader Arizona community is a powerful validation that we are living our purpose, delivering real member value, and earning the trust of those we serve.”

— Matthew Gaspari, MBA, President & CEO, Tucson Federal Credit Union

TFCU is currently competing in Ranking Arizona’s 2027 cycle, with public voting open through July 31, 2026. Community members can cast their vote at https://azbigmedia.com/vote-ranking-arizona/#/gallery/500845555

These honors arrive as TFCU continues to expand its branches, services, and community investment across Southern Arizona — momentum that these recognitions both reflect and reinforce.
