About the .CREDITUNION domain

What is the .CREDITUNION domain?

The .creditunion is the generic top-level domain (gTLD) reserved for the US credit union sector, launched in 2015 under the initial administration of CUNA Performance Resources, LLC, and transferred in 2021 to DotCooperation, LLC — the same entity that operates .coop — under the umbrella of Public Interest Registry.

Only credit unions recognized by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the sector's federal regulator, that are also members of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) can register a .creditunion domain. The namespace also accommodates industry trade associations, credit union service organizations (CUSOs), regulatory bodies, and other entities offering products or services specifically aimed at credit union members, provided they prove a clear connection to the sector. CUNA LLC publishes a charter on its website describing in detail the types of eligible organizations; only those meeting these criteria can complete registration. A relevant additional requirement: the requested domain name must reflect the name or brand of the credit union itself. Registration can only be completed through an accredited and approved registrar or reseller.
