The Award-Winning Web Design Agency for Credit Unions
Because your digital branch should kick @$$
Your credit union deserves an inspiring, user-delighting website. That’s why we created CU Champ.
Introducing CU Champ
Your experts in creating inspiring user experiences for credit unions
After delivering two CUNA Diamond award-winning websites we knew we were onto something. We’d seen the patterns. And we’d figured out a proven formula for creating a digital presence for credit unions that would delight users and be every bit as fun and easy to use on the front-end as it was on the back-end. So we at Marcum Creative launched CU Champ – a small, flexible team that set out to deliver exceptional results for our credit union clients — every time.
Case Study: WeStreet FCU
Delivering on our proven track record
After attempting a site redesign with another agency, Tulsa Federal CU came to us to get the job done. As a well-established credit union, the team was under a lot of pressure to launch a successful site to uphold their reputation. We met and exceeded their expectations by delivering a CUNA Diamond award-winning site. Tulsa Federal CU recently rebranded to WeStreet and once again looked to us to deliver an inspiring and intuitive user experience to match their fabulous new brand.

Case Study: Notre Dame FCU
Delivering a CUNA diamond Award-winning new site
When they came to us, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union had an outdated site that was hard to use on both the client and user side. We transformed their old site into something striking and intuitive, seamlessly transitioning over 63,000 members. Our team stayed super flexible throughout the project — accommodating several last minute changes just weeks before the public launch. The site went on to score a CUNA Diamond award.
