Listing credit unions throughout the 50 states, CreditUnionl.com is definitely the way to go to find a local lender or institution to manage your personal or small business finances.
Strange as it may seem for a directory, you cannot search for a specific credit union, but have to browse the index for each state, which seems a particularly uncomfortable thing, and hopefully one that they’ll correct in the near future. There are other absences in the site: for instance, some credit unions are not listed with contact information whereas other feature links to their websites. I can understand that for different reasons websites might not be available, but the absolutely minimum a directory should do is provide basic location data, as there’s really not much use to a list of names of credit unions. Users can fill out a form on the site to find customized loan quotes in their area; unfortunately, this information is not directly available through the site, but is actually given over the phone. Reviews for some financial products on selected companies are available, as are quick overviews of services and loans certain credit unions have to offer, but such coverage is the absolute exception and lack of information the norm. The site seems to be a very ambitious project, but the key element to its usefulness is reliability and the ability to actually find information, areas where CreditUnionl.com is not performing too well for the time being.
