Credit unions around the world are recognizing and celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day.

The 73rd annual event, which started in 1948, was held on Thursday by CUNA and the World Council of Credit Unions. This year’s theme, “Building financial health for a brighter tomorrow,” is central to the credit union movement—a commitment to members’ financial well-being.

Happy International #CreditUnion Day 2021! #ICUDay #ICUDay2021

Each credit union is governed by a volunteer board of directors elected by and from the credit union's membership. Credit unions are democratically controlled and are owned by you, the member. We are so proud to be a member-owned financial cooperative that serves you! #icuday pic.twitter.com/CYPKRWOR6V
