Diamond Credit Union was named as the eighth best medium-sized company in Pennsylvania by Best Companies Group (BCG). This is the tenth consecutive year that Diamond has been named as one of the Best Places to Work in PA. Diamond is the only credit union that received an award in the top 100 medium-sized businesses category.

The Credit Union was originally named as a Best Places to Work 2025 recipient in October. The rankings were announced on December 4 at an awards ceremony held at the Lancaster Marriot at Penn Square in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The theme of the night was rock n’ roll, and Diamond team members had the chance to blend hard work with fun at the dinner by dressing up in their best rock attire.

“Being named as one of the Best Places to Work in PA is an honor, and it’s a direct reflection of the incredible people who make up our team,” Diamond Credit Union’s President and CEO, Rick Patel said. “Our culture is built on respect and a shared commitment to service. Our team brings that to life every single day.”

To be in the running for Best Places to Work, employers and employees have to complete an in-depth questionnaire and provide their honest feedback about the workplace. Once completed, BCG analyzes the responses and determines if the organization makes the cut as a Best Places to Work recipient. BCG will also provide participants with feedback based on the questionnaire, so that employers have the opportunity to improve their work environment.

Diamond’s Culture

The Diamond Team uses the Commitment to Excellence to guide their actions in the workplace. They have the opportunity to help members with their finances, and help community members in their everyday lives through volunteering.

Relay For Life plays a huge role at Diamond Credit Union. Diamond volunteers participate in several Relay fundraisers throughout the year, in addition to hosting the John M. Faust Charity Golf Invitational and All in for Hope. Proceeds from both events are donated to Relay For Life.

Diamond branches and departments also host collection drives and volunteer their time throughout the year. Organizations the team assisted this year includes the Adalyn Rose Foundation, Helping Harvest and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Berks County, to name just a few.

Employee efforts don’t stop there though. Diamond volunteers participated in several parades and community days in Muhlenberg, Reading, Limerick, Pottstown and Boyertown.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the Diamond team’s dedication and passion, and I am excited to see how we grow together in 2026,” Patel said.

Where strength meets service, that’s Younity.
