YourMoneyFurther Wins Award
Separately, YourMoneyFurther.com, the initiative led by Credit Union Awareness, has won a 2022 dotCOMM Platinum Award for best financial website.
YourMoneyFurther.com is the national consumer-facing website designed to “deliver high quality financial services content through the voice and lens of the nation's credit union movement,” the organization said. “The site elevates the credit union difference while creating a pathway to credit union access and membership.”
According to CU Awareness, the site relaunched in 2022 garnering more than 23 million pageviews and more than 15 million consumer visits year-to-date.
The Your Money Further website relaunch boasts more financial content, a credit union locator, and a credit union matcher, CU Awareness said, adding that credit unions participating in the program gain priority visibility to allow site visitors an opportunity to find a credit union and become a member through the “join now” functionality.
“We are honored that the Your Money Further website has been distinguished as one of the best financial websites in the industry by the dotCOMM Awards,” said Chris Lorence, executive director of Credit Union Awareness LLC. “We couldn’t have done it without our website development partner, Americaneagle.com. Their website design and development creates a powerful credit union experience for users.”
