Today is International Credit Union (ICU) Day®, which celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement, with ICC member Tail O’ The Bank Credit Union leading the celebrations.
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.
On October 21, 2021, the global credit union family will join together to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of ICU Day®!
