Caution: Social Media Cuts Both Ways
Your credit union has nothing if it doesn’t have a brand. A brand works both ways

Why is your credit union website so ugly?
You know who you are. You had your site designed 5, 6 or 7 years ago. It was designed for an 800 pixel wide screen, or even worse, 640×480.You may not even know that your “drop-down” menu systems (if you even have one) don’t work on the new browsers because your IT department won’t let [...]

Anyone who reads credit union blogs, likely reads OpenSourceCU. Yesterday they had a comment that said:
