Recognizing the spirit of cooperation & community on International Credit Union Day

RATIO wrote this on Oct 19, 2017

On this International Credit Union day we’d like to do a shout out to the credit unions in our communities for their ongoing service pledge to their members and communities. The RATIO team has been privileged to work with credit unions for over 50 years.

From the Canadian Credit Union Association:

“Canadian credit unions celebrate positive impact on community and economy on International Credit Union Day

Credit unions are grounded in the prosperity of and quality of life in the communities they serve. Locally, this spirit drives community and economic impact and inspires innovative approaches to everyday banking. This year’s theme for ICU day in Canada is #better. The Canadian Credit Union Association released its 2017 Credit Union Community & Economic Report, which celebrates Canada’s credit unions and caisses populaires as fundamentally different than other financial institutions.

Read the CCUA’s Report here which highlights other key differentiators between Canada’s credit unions and top financial institutions.”

International Credit Union (ICU) Day® celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement. The day is recognized to reflect upon the credit union movement’s history, promote its achievements, recognize the hard work and share member experiences. International Credit Union (ICU) Day® has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948.
