International Credit Union Day 2023

Posted on Sep 20, 2023

Since 1948, credit unions around the world have come together on the 3rd Thursday in October to celebrate International Credit Union Day! This year celebrates 75 years of International Credit Union Day, and we’ll be joining credit unions across the world to celebrate!

What is International Credit Union Day?

International Credit Union Day 2023 is a celebration of the impact credit unions and other financial cooperatives have made, and continue to make, for their members. Members are at the heart of everything we do!

International Credit Union Day raises awareness of credit unions and the tremendous work they do around the world.

Voyager Alliance, part of the Penny Post Group, is just one of more than 87,000 credit unions in the world serving 393 million members in 118 countries!

Community First Credit Union, our USA partner

On ICU Day 2021, we launched our working partnership with Community First Credit Union, our USA Partner, based in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Over the last 2 years we’ve shared experiences, learning and best practices for the benefit of both credit unions.

You may remember, last year we sent a selection of British treats across the pond to Community First, as part of our International Credit Union Day celebrations and in return they sent us a selection of USA treats to try! Watch our reactions as both teams sample the treats!
