ICU Day is the one day each year that we take time to celebrate and appreciate credit unions nationwide! Credit unions are cooperative financial institutions that serve members through the philosophy of “People Helping People.”
What makes credit unions unique?
- Equal Ownership – Credit unions are democratically controlled and member-owned and member-operated. Each member has equal ownership and one vote regardless of how much money he or she has in savings.
- Not for Profit – Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide a safe, convenient place for members to save money and access loans and other financial services at reasonable rates.
- Social Purpose: People Helping People – Credit unions exist to serve their members, not to make a profit. Every member counts, including those of modest means. This “people-first” philosophy impels credit unions and their employees to get involved in their community and support worthwhile causes.
- Volunteer Leadership – Each credit union is governed by a volunteer board of directors elected by and from the credit union’s membership.
