About American Airlines Federal Credit Union: 231,370 Digital Banking Users, $8.6B+ in Assets
SavvyMoney Partnership: Launched in November 2014
Impact: 1.6M in certificate dividends for members; $42M deposit growth influenced through digital opportunities
OPPORTUNITY
American Airlines Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) approached SavvyMoney, seeking innovative ways to market and promote their deposit offerings. As SavvyMoney’s first financial institution partner, AAFCU had long utilized SavvyMoney’s solutions to bolster loan growth. Given the shifting marketing conditions and their evolving business strategy, they were hopeful they could parallel deposit growth through similar tactics.
SOLUTION
AAFCU’s strategy to engage their existing membership was a resounding success. They enhanced their certificate savings accounts by raising yields and showcasing their competitive rates prominently on the Credit Score dashboard and within the SavvyMoney offers experience, contained within digital banking. They linked these digital promotions to their online account opening solution to reduce friction, accelerate conversion, track leads, and empower members with a seamless account opening experience.
IMPACT
Over the last 12 months, the digital placement opportunities had a significant impact. They influenced the opening of over 1,500 certificate accounts, totaling $42M in deposits, yielding AAFCU members $1.6M in certificate dividends. AAFCU concluded that 40% of these certificate accounts were opened by current SavvyMoney users who were influenced through the credit score channel.
