FRESNO, Calif. (March 6, 2026) – Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) is proud to announce it has once again been recognized in two categories of the Best of North San Luis Obispo (SLO) County Reader’s Poll by The Atascadero News and The Paso Robles Press.

Voters selected EECU as the Best Bank or Credit Union and Best Mortgage or Home Loans, reflecting the credit union’s commitment to helping members reach their financial goals while delivering exceptional service to the Paso Robles community and surrounding areas.
The annual Best of North SLO County awards highlight outstanding local businesses and services across the region. Category winners are selected based directly on reader-submitted responses and it is not a multiple-choice vote. 
“We are honored to be recognized by the North SLO County community as the Best Credit Union and Best Home Loans,” said Elizabeth J. Dooley, EECU president and CEO. “This recognition reflects the trust our members place in us and dedication of our Paso Robles team to providing knowledgeable service and financial solutions that help people succeed.”
EECU opened its Paso Robles branch in June 2023, expanding the Fresno-based credit union’s service to California’s Central Coast. Since then, the branch has become an active part of the local community through sponsorships, events, and partnerships with schools and community organizations.
“It’s incredibly meaningful to receive this recognition from the community we serve,” said Carrie Danielson, EECU Paso Robles branch manager. “Our team works hard every day to support our members and neighbors, and we’re proud to help people navigate important financial decisions like buying a home.”
EECU’s Paso Robles branch is fully staffed with licensed loan counselors who can assist members with real estate loan applications directly in the branch.
