The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) is now making the .creditunion top-level domain to eligible credit unions based in the U.S.

The web addresses will not be automatically granted to those who apply. Each application will be subjected to a fairly rigorous evaluation and approval process, managed by CUNA. Domain names must correspond to a credit union’s name or brand in order to be obtained.

U.S.-based credit unions with federally-registered trademarks can begin the application process immediately. Everyone else will have to wait until after June 6, 2017.

Credit unions interested in registering a domain can get started at CUNA’s website.
