People's Credit Union Designated

Best-in-State Two Years in a Row by Forbes

MIDDLETOWN, RI (July 5, 2022): People’s Credit Union has been ranked by Forbes as one the best-in-state and nationwide credit unions for the second year in a row. As part of their annual survey of the Best Credit Unions in each state, Forbes went directly to their customers, partnering with market research firm Statista to conduct in-depth interviews of more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from all fifty states on their banking relationships. Respondents answered a detailed battery of questions focused on six separate facets of the relationship: Trust, terms & conditions (including reasonable and transparent fees), branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice. Based on a scale of 1-100, overall scores ranged from 73.95 and 92.54, with 171 unique credit unions nationwide qualifying to earn best-in-state accolades, representing just 3.4% of all U.S credit unions. People’s Credit Union was the only Credit Union in Rhode Island to exceed Forbes’ criteria to be included in the ranking two years in a row.

“Earning this distinction two years in a row is a real testament to our team, without whom nothing even close to this designation would be possible,” stated Sean Daly, President & Chief Executive Officer for People’s Credit Union… “As Forbes points out, ’credit unions are the unheralded lifeblood of the U.S. economy…,’ and at People’s we know that to be true now more than ever,” Daly concluded.

Forbes in partnership with research firm Statista published their annual financial institution ranking report in June 2022.

Introducing the New

East Greenwich Walking Tour

Introducing The New East Greenwich Walking Tour

East Greenwich visitors and residents can now take a stroll back in time with a narrated walking trail of the town's Hill and Harbor district along Peirce and Main Streets. Take a hike through East Greenwich history. The EG Historic Preservation Society has put together a one-mile narrated walking tour of 14 historic sites on Peirce and Main Streets. The free tour is not just for hikers and history buffs but will appeal to anyone who is curious about the vintage homes and buildings in the hill neighborhood. You can access the tour whenever you want to by using your smart phone. Just go to eghps.org and click "walking tours" on the lower left. The East Greenwich History walking tour begins near the anchor outside Swift Community Center at Peirce Street and there is lots of free off-street parking nearby.

Developed by East Greenwich High School senior Ethan Jantaikis, the approximately one-mile walk explores the town's 345-year history through fourteen noteworthy spots along the way. Narrator Brian Wallin, a former newscaster, is the tour guide for this easy walk, which includes remembrances of others who are connected to some of the sites. For example, at a spot along Peirce Street a 1940s graduate of the East Greenwich Academy recounts her graduation from the famed secondary school.

Ethan's project won him a $1000 scholarship from the East Greenwich Historic Preservation Society, an annual prize the Society awards to EGHS seniors who provide history-focused community service projects. His work gives life to the town's "Welcome to Historic East Greenwich" signs.
