Always a Member

Helps Relocating Members Find a New CU

Credit unions promote the concept of “once a member, always a member.” This idea develops the concept of a national credit union network to actively move credit union members to credit unions in their new geographic area. The product will include a database of credit unions and eligibility requirements and branch addresses, along with a seamless switch kit to move savings products to the new institution with ease.

Launched in August of 2006, the site walks the employee and the member who is relocating through a series of simple questions designed to arrive at a short list of full-service, conveniently located credit unions that the member is eligible to join.

    We're annoyed by questions like this too, but we're even more annoyed by spam (except the yummy canned kind).
