MatriMoney®

A Credit Union Registry for Love and Marriage

The wedding registry market continues to grow each year with nearly $18 billion spent on wedding gifts in the United States through these various registries. Research has indicated that cash gifts are the most desired gifts by couples. There remains, however, stigma in asking for cash from friends and relatives. The MatriMoney account provides a more elegant way for engaged couples to request cash consistent with wedding registries at retail stores.
