Why it Works
  • Credit union demographics match IIA vision
  • 70 of credit unions began as occupational-based
    credit unions
  • A great fit for the culture of value, trust and
    cooperative principals espoused by credit unions
  • Members trust their credit unions to provide
  • Low-cost, high quality financial services
  • Real promotional offers, not gimmicks
  • Founded on the principal of Made in America
  • Credit unions and their members are rallying to
    the concept of Investing in America by supporting
    U.S. companies

6
How It Works
  • CUcorp contracts with U.S. based companies to
    offer exclusive discount programs for credit
    union members. Current programs include
    Chrysler, GM, Ford, Sprint, THOR RV and Allied
    Moving and Storage.
  • CUcorp markets the programs directly to credit
    unions and through individual state leagues and
    league service corporations.
  • Credit unions that want to participate must
    complete the enrollment form located on
    www.lovemycreditunion.org under sign-up under the
    partner center tab.
  • CUcorp provides free turn-key marketing materials
    to supporting credit unions to use in marketing
    the discounts to their members.

    members versus gimmicks offered by other
    organizations.
  • Increase the value of credit union membership by
    providing discounts exclusive to credit union
    members.
  • Member enhancements provide credit unions a
    catalyst for membership and loan growth.
  • Opportunities to educate members on credit union
    advantages including lower loan rates, lower
    fees, and better service.
