For banks, credit unions and community lenders

Holiday ecards for banks and credit unions

A holiday card is the one message of the year with no rates in it. Make it look like your bank or credit union, and send it to everyone you serve. These holiday ecards for banks and credit unions are short animated cards with your institution's logo, colors and words, sent by email to customers, members, business clients and your community.

Made for a financial institution

A holiday card that looks like your bank or credit union

Type your institution's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the president, the board or everyone at the branch.

The result is a branded holiday card that plays like a short film: your logo, your colors and your words, with music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your customers and members is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a community bank in steel blue and pale blue; press Make this yours and the studio opens it in those colors, ready for your own logo.

Your institution's brand

Type your bank's or credit union's website and the card takes your colors and finds your logo.

What to write in a holiday card from your bank or credit union

Keep it short and grateful. A good holiday message to members or customers thanks them for their trust, wishes them a good season and says who it is from. Keep it about thanks rather than products; the card is a thank-you, not an ad. Start from one of these and change any word.

To customers

"Thank you for banking with us this year. Season's greetings from [bank name]."

"From all of us at [bank name]: happy holidays."

To members

"Wishing our members a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year."

"Thank you for being part of our credit union family this year. Warm wishes for the season from [credit union name]."

To business clients and partners

"Thank you for growing with us this year. Season's greetings from everyone at [bank name]."

To your own staff

"To everyone at [bank name]: thank you for the care you give our customers every day. Enjoy the holidays."

More wording ideas for credit union holiday greetings are in our holiday card messages for business.

Ecard or printed card for your members?

A printed card still suits the board and a short list of business clients. Credit union holiday cards and bank holiday cards for the whole membership reach further as an ecard.

Who should get your institution's holiday card

  • Customers or members, from first accounts to families who have banked with you for decades.
  • Business clients and community partners: local employers, nonprofits, schools and the groups you sponsor.
  • Your own staff: tellers, lenders, the branch teams and the back office.

A card holds one message, so many institutions make two holiday cards for bank customers and staff: one for customers or members, one for business clients or the team. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

A greeting for every customer

Your customers and members come from every background, so most institutions choose Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or best wishes for the new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting fits your community. Some institutions send a thank-you at Thanksgiving instead, which arrives before the December rush.

Seen by compliance before anything is sent

A message to customers or members usually needs a yes from compliance, marketing or the president's office. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so a reviewer can watch it on a phone between meetings.

When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought, and nothing goes to a single customer, until you say yes.

Holiday cards and your compliance rules

Your institution decides every word on the card, including your name and any disclosure your policies ask for. Whether a holiday card counts as advertising or a member communication, and how it is reviewed and kept on record, is your institution's call. If you are unsure, ask your compliance team before you send.

Your customer list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Outlook, Mailchimp, Constant Contact or another provider. Your customer or member list never leaves your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your customers and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.

When to send your holiday card

Early December is the usual window: after Thanksgiving, and before customers and members leave for the holidays. Send it midweek, in working hours, when it lands in an inbox people are reading rather than a long weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Branches closing early for the holidays? Add your holiday branch hours as one of the card's ending links, so customers know when you are open.

Questions banks and credit unions ask

Send them the preview link. They watch the real card, watermarked, before anything is bought or sent.
That is your institution's call. Your institution decides every word on the card, including any disclosure your policies ask for; if you are unsure how a holiday card is reviewed or kept on record, ask your compliance team before you send.
Two or three sentences: thanks for their trust, a wish for the season, and who it is from. Keep it about thanks rather than products. Sample lines for customers, members, business clients and staff are on this page, and every word is yours to change.
Yes, when it looks like your institution. The card carries your logo, your colors and your words, plays on its own page, and arrives in an email designed to carry it. Many institutions keep printed cards for the board and a short list of business clients and send the ecard to everyone else.
Yes. Say so in the card's message, and add your holiday branch hours as one of its ending links.
The words are yours, so choose the greeting that fits your community. Institutions with a broad membership usually choose Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays.
Customers or members, business clients, community partners and your own staff. Many institutions make a second card for business clients or the team.
Early December, after Thanksgiving and before customers leave for the holidays, midweek and in working hours.
If you send it yourself, yes: we design the email and you send it from your own provider, so the list never leaves your system. If we send it, you import the list and every address is checked before the send.
Your choice: we send it to your list, or you send it from your own email platform with a ready-made email.
Yes. When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose: your website, other pages of yours, and your social accounts.
60 days from the later of your purchase and your last send, and another send extends it.
