.CREDITUNION Top-Level Domain
Thank to Bret Fausett (Internet.pro) for spotting this new generic Top-Level Domain.
"According to CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney, CUNA’s move to reserve a credit union specific top-level domain, such as .creditunion, ensures this important identifier will stay in credit union hands and will allow the credit union movement to collectively take full advantage of the next stage of the Internet’s development and growth."
