Celebrate International Credit Union Day
International Credit Union (ICU) Day is next Thursday, October 15. We encourage you to celebrate by engaging with us on social media using the hashtags #IowaCreditUnions #TellYourCUStory and #ICUDay.

ICU Day is a great opportunity to interact with your membership to celebrate the cooperative credit union movement. Consider hosting a coloring competition, starting a social media challenge or sharing credit union trivia.

To celebrate ICU Day, ICUL has worked with Governor Kim Reynolds to proclaim October 15 as Credit Union Day in Iowa. Learn about the impact credit unions have in Iowa by visiting GrowingIowa.org.
