International Credit Union Day

Celebrate 73 years of International Credit Union Day® at West Virginia Federal Credit Union. On Oct. 21, 2021, credit union members around
the world will celebrate International Credit Union Day®, an annual event to commemorate the credit union move-
rd
ment’s impact and achievements. This year marks the 73 anniversary.
Credit unions are not-for-pro t nancial cooperatives that provide an e ective and viable alternative to for-pro t
nancial institutions for more than 291 million members in 118 countries worldwide. More than 86,000 credit unions
exist globally, providing a plethora of nancial services for their members, recognized as a force for positive econom-
ic and social change.

Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. Each year,
the international event a ords the opportunity to remember credit unions’ proud history and promote awareness of and support for the
credit union and nancial cooperative di erence.

This year’s theme is “Building nancial health for a brighter tomorrow.”
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge the nancial well-being of credit union members around the globe. This theme highlights
the way credit unions are responding to that challenge by working with members to help them rebuild their livelihoods.
International Credit Union Day is recognized by the World Council of Credit Unions, the global trade association and development platform
for credit unions and other nancial cooperatives, as well as numerous national credit union trade associations and federations around the
world.
