Celebrate International Credit Union Day This Month!
10/05/2026
Mark your calendars! On Thursday, October 15, 2026, FCCU will join thousands of credit unions around the globe in celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day.
This year marks the 78th anniversary of ICU Day, a global celebration of the credit union difference, where people come together to build stronger communities, support one another, and make financial well-being accessible to all. For more than seven decades, ICU Day has recognized the power of cooperation and the success of the “People, Not Profit” philosophy that sets credit unions apart. Today, over 235 million people in 109 countries across six continents are part of the credit union movement, a true testament to the strength and impact of this global community.
This October is especially meaningful for FCCU as we also celebrate our 87th anniversary and National Co-op Month. For more than eight decades, FCCU has remained dedicated to serving our members with care, integrity, and community spirit. As a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative, we’re proud to return value back to our members.
This year’s theme is “Cooperative Finance: A Steady Signal in a Noisy World.” In an era defined by relentless information overload, rapid economic shifts and growing financial uncertainty, the 2026 theme speaks directly to what sets cooperative finance apart. Credit unions and financial cooperatives cut through the complexity with something enduring: trust, stability and an unwavering commitment to people over profit. Where the broader financial world can feel crowded and opaque, cooperative institutions remain clear, consistent and rooted in community.
To share the celebration, stop by your local FCCU branch throughout the week for special giveaways and fun surprises. Plus, register online October 13–15 for a chance to win exciting door prizes. You’ll find the registration link at your branch or by clicking the link at the end of this article.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you and honor what makes our credit union family so special. Thank you for being part of FCCU.
Life is Better with Community!
