Credit Union Awareness, the national and state-level consumer marketing program that generates awareness and engagement for credit unions, is reporting increases in membership in states where the program has launched.
The announcement comes five months after relaunching YourMoneyFurther.com — a resource that connects consumers directly to credit unions.
In total, in states where Credit Union Awareness has had robust credit union engagement, credit unions have seen 20% more memberships each year and acquired 1.2 million more members in aggregate than non-participating states over the same period. Analysis of membership data since launch also indicates that nearly 60% of participating states experienced a growth rate of 10% or higher.
“In just a few short years, participating states have seen significant membership growth,” said Chris Lorence, executive director of Credit Union Awareness, a subsidiary of CUNA. “We are excited to see these results and look forward to continuing to grow the program and connect even more qualified consumers directly to credit unions.”

Credit union leaders can learn more about the Credit Union Awareness program at the New York Credit Union Association’s CEO Roundtable, set for Oct. 25-26, where Lorence will be a featured speaker. He will also talk about YourMoneyFurther.com and how participating credit unions can connect their website for maximum consumer engagement opportunities, and provide insights on how credit unions can harness the insights of the program to improve their own digital marketing efforts.
