International Credit Union Day

Every year, we celebrate International Credit Union Day and the spirit of the global credit union movement on the third Thursday of October

It’s a great opportunity to focus on the good that credit unions do for their communities and why being a member is about more than simply banking. 

This day – that has been recognized since 1948 – and falls within National Co-op Week, is another way we highlight the co-operative principles that guide our institution. All co-operative organizations share a common set of principles.

2024 celebrates 76 years of ICU Day under the theme “One World Through Cooperative Finance” – which signifies how credit unions and cooperative financial institutions still bring people together to grow financial inclusion and make local communities stronger.
