.creditunion Domain to be Available in 2014

on 11:35 AM

CUNA has won preliminary approval from ICANN, the international body that authorizes web extensions, for the Internet domain name .creditunion (dot credit union). The new domain name is expected to be finalized and go live in early 2014.

CUNA submitted an application for the .creditunion domain name, which was selected from almost 2,000 generic, top-level domain name applications that had gone to ICANN over the past four months.  ICANN's 2011 announcement that it would significantly broaden the number of approved top-level domain names beyond the limited number already in use prompted CUNA to submit a .creditunion application on behalf of the entire movement. 

CUNA has already set up a mechanism for credit unions to register their interest.  Credit unions interested or seeking more information can click here to complete an important survey.

Credit unions can also email dotcreditunion@cuna.coop for any questions or comments. These opportunities for feedback are nonbinding, and CUNA is asking credit unions to express their interest by Aug. 1.
