CU*Answers, the 100% credit-union owned cooperative, recently announced the winner of its 2020 Debit Card contest. Contests are run quarterly for a two-month period as a way of gathering member email addresses or increasing enrollment in credit union services such as e-statements, bill pay, and debit cards. Contest enrollment is free to all CU*Answers credit unions with an optional full collateral print package for an additional charge. The contest prize is supplied by CU*Answers; however, credit unions may purchase an exclusive prize to ensure their credit union has a winner.

Jose, a member of Inland Valley Federal Credit Union in Fontana, California, was the chosen contest winner of an Amazon Echo and Nest Thermostat in the most recent contest, selected by a random drawing of entries from 94 participating credit unions. The contest resulted in a total of 13,729,092 debit card signature-based transactions during the contest period (July 1 – August 31, 2020), a total increase of 7.26% when compared to signature-based debit card transactions during the two months prior to the contest.
