About the Top 5 Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions in the 2021 Best of Oakland and the East Bay
Oakland Magazine’s Best of Oakland was born with the idea to give readers in Oakland and throughout the East Bay a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions and all kinds of everyday categories. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.
The voting for Best of Oakland Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of February with open write-in nominations for reader’s favorite Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions taking place. As more and more nominations come in, the most written-in Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions become automatically selectable and listed making it easier and easier for people to cast their nominations. And write-in nominations continue to be open until the end of the month.
As the nomination period for Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions in the first round comes to a close in mid March, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Best Banks, S&Ls, or Credit Unions being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of March and April.
