Credit unions worldwide celebrate the 75th annual International Credit Union Day
75 years is a significant milestone to achieve. It’s the diamond anniversary, the platinum jubilee, and the semi-sesquicentennial celebration. 75 years calls for grand celebrations, and the credit union industry will deliver exactly that on October 19th, 2023, when it celebrates the 75th annual International Credit Union Day.
