Opportunity uncovered

Helping depositors, institutions, and future members discover and unlock the true value of regional financial assets.
The Ember Criteria
The metrics behind the benchmark.
We evaluate credit unions and regional banks across five critical dimensions–each selected for its power to reveal:
-
Operational strength
-
Market adaptation
-
Member responsiveness
-
Insitutional integrity
-
Long-term resilience
These criteria are the bedrock of The Avallonn Benchmark, and drive every designation issued.
