How Credit Union of New Jersey Grew Deposits With a Personalized Mobile Banking Engagement Campaign
November 7, 2025
By meeting members where they bank — inside the mobile app — CUNJ turned engagement into measurable growth through personalized, in-app campaigns.
The Challenge
Even the best offers fall flat if members don’t see them. CUNJ needed to:
- Cut through crowded email inboxes
- Deliver timely, relevant CD offers
- Engage at scale without adding operational drag
Traditional channels weren’t enough — visibility and timing were critical to success.
The Solution
CUNJ used Pulsate’s mobile engagement platform to extend its multichannel CD campaign directly into the digital banking experience.
Key features included:
- Personalized in-app messages: Offers delivered securely inside the mobile app, no extra clicks.
- Real-time behavioral targeting: Reaching members at the right moment of intent.
- Seamless orchestration: Combined with email and social for a full-funnel impact.
- Quick, low-effort setup: Built for community FIs to launch and iterate fast.
Pulsate ensured the right message reached the right member at the right time.
The Results
- 103 new Certificates of Deposit
- $3.5 million in total deposits
- 50% higher open and click rates compared to email alone
Nearly all deposits came from existing members — proving the power of engaged relationships.
There’s no better channel than mobile – and no better partner than Pulsate.
