“Empower Your Financial Future with a Credit Union™.” is the theme for this year’s International Credit Union (ICU) Day® which is celebrated on Thursday 20th October 2022.
International Credit Union (ICU) Day® celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement. The day is recognized to reflect upon the credit union movement’s history, promote its achievements, recognize hard work and share member experiences. International Credit Union (ICU) Day® has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948.
The ultimate 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.
Now in its 74th year, the International Credit Union Day® will gather as a global movement as credit unions around the world are encouraged to share stories of member empowerment. The World Council shared one such example in Episode 16 of The Global Credit Union Podcast. You can hear that here.
International Credit Union Day is brought to you by World Council of Credit Unions and Credit Union National Association (CUNA).
International Credit Union Day 2022 is sponsored by CUNA Strategic Services partner Zogo Finance.
