West Virginia Federal Credit Union Local Service. Global Reach.
On October 17, 2019, West Virginia Federal Credit Union will join with 56,000 credit unions around the
world in celebration of International Credit Union (ICU) Day®. Come help us celebrate at our South
Charleston or St. Albans Branch. Refreshments provided.

There are 200+ million credit union members around the world—more than 100 million in the U.S. alone
—and West Virginia Federal Credit Union joins them in celebration of the not-for-profit cooperative spirit
that all credit unions share.

This cooperative spirit has led to life-changing opportunities for people all over the world who’ve wanted
to start a small business, own a home or continue their education but were denied access to other
financial institutions. In many parts of the world, people’s first taste of democracy is through their credit
union, where “one member, one vote” is the governing structure.
At its most basic level, a credit union is people pooling their money to provide each other with affordable
loans—it is literally people helping people. This is why West Virginia Federal Credit Union celebrates ICU
Day. Because credit unions empower people, wherever they are in the world or life, to take control of their
financial future.

The public is welcome to stop by South Charleston or St. Albans Branch and celebrate with West Virginia
Federal Credit Union a movement that concerns itself with the financial success of all people.
