What did the WebAward judges have to say?

"KeyPoint Credit Union delivers a thoughtful, user-centered experience that makes complex financial services feel approachable and easy to navigate. It is a strong example of how thoughtful UX design can make financial services more accessible and engaging."

"KPCU.com does a very good job of organizing a large number of financial products around real customer needs. Rather than simply listing accounts and loans, the homepage groups information around goals such as buying a car, purchasing a home, rebuilding credit, reducing debt, and planning for retirement. That makes the site feel practical and user-focused.”

What did the WebAward judges have to say?

"Clean, modern, easy-to-navigate, easy-to-read -- a solid entry in this vertical."

"Really well-made site. Appreciate the effort that's gone into accessibility here, it really shows."

“FirstCityCU.org does a strong job of organizing financial services around practical member goals rather than just product categories. The "I want to" section is especially effective, guiding visitors toward needs such as buying a first home, consolidating debt, improving credit, or starting an auto loan. Current offers, loan rates, checking options, financial wellness resources, and prominent online banking access also make the site highly useful.“
