SILICON VALLEY, Calif., May 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Meriwest Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions serving Silicon Valley, has been recognized as a winner in the 2022 Bay Area Best Places to Work, an awards program presented by the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley Business Journal.

The Silicon Valley Business Journal and San Francisco Business Times unveiled the results of the survey of thousands of companies in the Bay Area May 5th, 2022, ranking the top companies to work for. Meriwest, one of the select employers winning the award, was recognized for creating an exceptional workplace and culture that their employees value highly.
