Star One Credit Union Named to WalletHub’s Best Credit Union Credit Cards of 2026

Recognition highlights Star One’s Visa Signature Rewards card for its market-leading low APR.

SUNNYVALE, CA – Star One Credit Union’s Visa Signature Rewards Card is being recognized by WalletHub as one of the Best Credit Union Credit Cards of 2026.

WalletHub evaluated more than 500 credit card offers from credit unions across the nation, assessing key features including annual percentage rates (APRs), reward structures, fee transparency, and overall member savings. Star One earned top honors for offering an exceptionally low regular APR.

Unmatched Value for Members

Unlike traditional credit card issuers that rely on high interest rates and hidden or costly fee structures, Star One’s credit card lineup is engineered to keep money in members’ pockets. The Star One Visa Signature Rewards Card offers:

  • Industry-leading low rates.
  • No hidden fees.
  • Valuable everyday rewards, like 1.5 rewards points for every dollar spent, redeemable for cash back, travel, gift cards, or merchandise, and a TSA PreCheck or Global Entry statement credit every five years.
  • Premium Visa Signature benefits that include 24/7 concierge service, travel cancellation/interruption protection, and auto rental collision damage waivers.

That commitment to member savings is at the heart of Star One’s core mission.

“At Star One, our members aren’t just customers. They are the owners. Every product we design is built around prioritizing our people over our profit,” said Minal Gupta, President and CEO of Star One Credit Union. “Being selected by WalletHub underscores the impact of our ongoing effort to deliver real, measurable financial value back to our members.”

WalletHub’s annual credit card ratings are based on a rigorous, independent evaluation process analyzing thousands of data points across interest rates, fee structures, and rewards velocity. View the full rating here.
