Bringing Credit Unions Together
Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. This year’s theme is “Credit Unions Unite for Good: A Better Way.” Each year, the international event gives the opportunity to remember credit unions’ proud history and promote awareness of and support for the credit union initiative.
Not-for-profit Means You Profit
Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that aim to serve their members, providing a secure place to save money and access affordable loans. Credit unions all over the world are a united industry focused on you, the members. That’s why, at a credit union, you are never just a number—you are a member, and they exist to serve you.
