Celebrating International Credit Union Day: Honoring the Credit Union Difference

Today, on International Credit Union Day, The League is proud to celebrate the Credit Union Difference alongside you. Since the beginning of our movement, credit unions have served as a financial lifeline—providing access, stability, and opportunity to those who might not otherwise have it. What sets us apart is simple yet powerful: our unwavering commitment to People Helping People.

That spirit continues every day through the dedication of credit union professionals who serve their members and communities with care, creativity, and purpose. As we mark this special day and continue our month-long celebration, we’re honoring both our cooperative roots and our shared vision for the future.

Get Involved

No matter where you are in your credit union journey—whether you’ve been part of the movement for decades or are just getting started—there are many meaningful ways to join the celebration this month:

Share Your Celebration: Post your International Credit Union Day photos, videos, and stories on social media and tag The League so we can spotlight your efforts statewide.

Tell Your Story: Share how your credit union has made a difference for a member, family, or local business. These stories are powerful advocacy tools that show the real-world value of the Credit Union Difference.

Advocating for the Future

In the spirit of giving back, The League is hosting an International Credit Union Month Giving Campaign, with a goal of raising $1,600 in each state this October. We are accepting corporate contributions from all credit unions, and you can track your state’s progress here.  Credit unions interested in supporting this effort can reach out to Josie Ellis for more information.

The League is proud to celebrate this day with you and thanks you for the work you do to strengthen your members, communities and our movement today and every day.
