Dear Editor,
Today, October 16, 2014, credit unions worldwide will celebrate International Credit Union Day under the theme 'Local Service, Global Good' by joining together and celebrating the movement's history and achievement. This year's theme emphasises credit unions' positive impact in their communities and around the world.
The credit union movement around the world continues to be a force to be reckoned with by providing their members with peace of mind, safety and financial security. Credit unions provide its members with access to low-interest loan products and high returns on their savings and deposits.
Each credit union member has equal ownership and one vote regardless of how much money a member has on deposit. At a credit union, every customer is both a member and an owner.
Credit unions exist to help people, not to make a profit. Their goal is to serve all of their members well. Every member counts. In this financial atmosphere, it is imperative that we become credit union members to not only reap the rewards, but to experience the credit union difference.
