New website, new look.
Welcome, credit union leaders and readers, to the new CUTimes.com website. It houses the same best-in-class content CU Times has always offered, but in a more streamlined and engaging format.
Our new navigation reflects many of the topics you have followed over the years, but has been expanded to spotlight new topics shaping the future of credit unions, including Fintech, Regulatory and Compliance, as well as the latest lending and marketing news. These topics were selected carefully based on our staff's deep market knowledge, and also on the information you have requested in audience surveys, letters to the editor, social media comments and face-to-face conversations. We'll be leading the credit union industry dialogue on these topics and more as we track developments each week and provide updates and in-depth reporting.
One especially slick new feature allows you to track topic development as closely as your business demands: You can sign up to receive customized email alerts with our published coverage around any of our topics, at the frequency and time you prefer. So, that's cool.
You'll notice that our article pages have also evolved. They're now more visually-driven and reside on a single page, reducing page load time and allowing you to access key information more quickly. A "Dig Deeper" section at the bottom of each page identifies the topics the article addresses; selecting one of these topics takes you to our full archive of coverage.
The information you've come to rely on from CU Times is still here; we've just adopted a new look and hopefully made our content a bit easier to find.
If you love the new look, or have some productive feedback for us as we all get used to the new look and feel, I welcome your feedback. As always, you can reach me at [email protected].
