The Credit Union Times’ Jim Rubenstein reports that, since the inception of Move Your Money, their credit union search tools have tripled in traffic:
- Consumers are being driven in higher numbers to credit union Web sites as a result of the media and government focus on big bank practices, according to NAFCU and CUNA.
NAFCU, for one, said this week its “CULookup” locator has recorded “a tripling of volume” since the first favored mention of CUs appeared on New York pundit Arianna Huffington’s “Move Your Money” Web site.
For days, both CUNA and NAFCU have promoted their online systems aimed at providing access and convenience for consumers to make the switch from banks to CUs. NAFCU noted that the Huffinton Post first listed NAFCU’s “call to action” on Jan. 6 with commentary by Fred Becker, president/CEO of NAFCU.

Hey if this works with banks why not move ur vote from the 2 parties that think they r too big to fail?
I got my Credit Union credit card last week. CitiCard going away when I get things squared away. I already use local community banks. This feels really, really good. When we bought a new recliner today (Made in USA-Best Company in Indiana–factory IS in Indiana also) the salesman said he was going to move his money too!!MOVE YOUR MONEY.
FYI – here is a direct link to CUNA’s Credit Union locator:
