Illiana Financial is a cooperative financial institution with $154 Million in assets and four offices throughout Illinois. Deposit products include checking, savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. Illiana also offers home, auto, and business loans, credit cards, and individual retirement accounts.
Business Situation
The credit union needed a web presence to generate new members and serve existing ones. The credit union offers many products and services but had no way of reaching prospective members who use the internet. They also wanted to enable prospective members to apply for a membership online. To serve their existing members, they wanted to provide them with internet banking and the ability to apply for a loan online.
Solution
The interactive website designed by alligatortek gave Illiana a strong presence on the web and enables them to better compete with other major banks. The website also provides users with information such as current savings/checking/loan rates, online calculators, and credit union information.
Prospective members can apply to become member using the online membership application.
Existing members have access to online banking, enabling them to manage their accounts online and pay bills online. Members can also order new checks, order a new ATM card, and apply for loans.
