International Credit Union Day - Join Hi-Scot Credit Union
15th October 2020
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.
On October 15, 2020, join your global credit union family as we celebrate the 72nd anniversary of ICU Day!
This year's theme is "Inspiring hope for a global community."
International Credit Union Day is brought to you by World Council and Credit Union National Association (CUNA). This year's event is proudly supported by Harland Clarke.
