Everything credit unions do serves the needs of members on a local scale. Credit unions impact local communities across the globe by bringing financial empowerment to their community, which inspires other credit unions to enhance their service. International Credit Union Day® (ICU Day) on Oct. 17, is an opportunity to raise worldwide awareness about the movement. ICU Day has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948.
The goal is to raise awareness about the tremendous work that credit unions and other financial cooperatives are doing around the world and give members the opportunity to get more engaged. The day of festivities for credit unions and financial cooperatives globally includes fundraisers, open houses, contests, picnics, volunteering, and parades.
On Oct. 17, join your global credit union family to celebrate the 71st anniversary with the theme “Local Service. Global Reach.”
