International Credit Union Day Unites Global Movement on October 16


Next week, our industry will unite for International Credit Union Day—celebrating the spirit of our global movement through “Cooperation for a Prosperous World.” This year’s festivities will be held on Thursday, October 16 with the ultimate goal of raising awareness about the work done by credit unions and encouraging members to get more involved. International Credit Union Day, now in its 77th year, has been recognized on the third Thursday of October since 1948—highlighting our movement’s achievements while also showcasing our shared People Helping People philosophy.
