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.

2025 celebrates 77 years of International Credit Union Day under the theme "Cooperation for a Prosperous World" — a message that highlights how credit unions and cooperative financial institutions continue to unite people, expand financial inclusion, and strengthen local communities.
