What is International Credit Union (ICU) Day?

• ICU Day has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948 and is designed to create awareness and celebrate the ways credit unions improve the lives of their members around the world.
• It is the one day a year the entire movement takes the time to tell their members and communities about credit unions and when people learn what a credit union is and how it works—not-for-profit, lets them keep more of their money—they tend to like it.
• 2022 celebrates 74 years of ICU Day.
• This year’s theme is: “Empower Your Financial Future with a Credit Union.” It speaks to how there are still 1.4 billion people across the globe who are unbanked and how credit unions truly have the perfect business model to empower their financial futures. Due to that type of commitment to members and communities across the world, we have a global credit union movement that is now more than 375 million members strong. They are served by more than 86,000 credit unions in 118 countries.

What makes credit unions unique?

• Equal Ownership – Credit unions are democratically controlled and member-owned and member-operated. Each member has equal ownership and one vote regardless of how much money he or she has in savings.
• Not for Profit – Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide a safe, convenient place for members to save money and access loans and other financial services at reasonable rates.
• Social Purpose: People Helping People – Credit unions exist to serve their members, not to make a profit. Every member counts, including those of modest means. This “people-first” philosophy impels credit unions and their employees to get involved in their community and support worthwhile causes.
• Volunteer Leadership – Each credit union is governed by a volunteer board of directors elected by and from the credit union’s membership.
• Financial Education for Members – Credit unions place particular importance on educational opportunities for their members and the public to help everyone become better-educated consumers of financial services.
• Trust – Lately credit unions have received positive press for being trustworthy and resilient institutions during a tumultuous time. Credit union members worldwide can be proud of these accomplishments and rest assured that their money is safe at the credit union.
