The Illinois Credit Union League and Envisant® announced their boards of directors have set aside funds to sponsor Illinois credit union participation in the Credit Union Awareness program. Credit unions who are eligible for this sponsorship can opt in to get their 2023 participation costs covered by the fund.

Credit Union Awareness announced increases in membership in states where the program is launched. States where the program has had robust credit union engagement, credit unions have seen 20% more memberships each year than non-participating states.

Chris Lorence, executive director of CU Awareness, appeared on CU Broadcast to talk about the success of YourMoneyFurther.com program raising consumer awareness and consideration of credit unions.
