Cross Valley Website Earns Top Honors at Marketing Awards

Cross Valley Federal Credit Union has been recognized with a 2026 MIC Award for Best Website by the CrossState Credit Union Association.

The award was presented in the category for credit unions with more than $200 million in assets and celebrates excellence in credit union marketing and communications across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Winners are selected by an independent panel of marketing and communications professionals.

The Best Website category recognizes websites that serve as an extension of a credit union’s brand through cohesive design, simple navigation, financial education resources, online application tools and compelling promotional content. The award honors websites that are both visually engaging and easy for members to use.

For us, the recognition reflects an ongoing commitment to making banking simpler, more accessible and more helpful for members and the communities it serves. 

Whether someone is opening an account, applying for a loan, exploring financial education resources or learning more about our products and services, the website was designed to make every interaction feel easy, welcoming and distinctly local.

“We’re beyond honored to receive this recognition from CrossState,” said Cross Valley President and CEO Traci Donahue. “Our website is often the first interaction someone has with us, and we want it to reflect who we are as a both community members and a credit union—accessible, approachable and committed to helping people find opportunity.”

The MIC Awards, which stands for Market, Innovate and Create, recognize outstanding marketing and communications efforts among credit unions throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Cross Valley recognized as leader in financial literacy.

When it comes to financial well-being, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Sometimes, what people need most is someone they can trust to answer questions, offer guidance and help them feel more confident about their next step.

That’s why Cross Valley Federal Credit Union is proud to share that it was recently recognized by the CrossState Credit Union Association as one of its 2026 Leaders in Financial Literacy. The award was presented during the CUConnect2026 convention and highlights the credit union’s ongoing commitment to helping members improve their financial well-being.

A big part of that effort is WealthWise, Cross Valley’s free financial well-being program. Available to members, their family members and anyone living in their household, WealthWise provides access to personalized financial guidance from certified professionals who are focused on education, not sales.
