INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION DAY
INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION DAYposted: Friday, October 09, 2009 On October 15, credit union members around the world will join together to celebrate International Credit Union Day and this year's theme: Your Money. Your Choice. Your Credit Union. Do you remember why you chose SAFE Federal Credit Union to be your financial services provider? It may be among many reasons shared by the 177 million people in 96 countries who have also chosen credit unions, but it most likely has something to do with the common philosophy of people helping people. Unlike most other financial institutions, credit unions are not-for-profit, democratically controlled, volunteer-run, member-owned cooperatives. They exist to serve their members, and that level of service remains high even during the toughest times. Instead of issuing stock or paying dividends to outside shareholders, credit unions provide value to their members by returning earnings in the form of lower loan rates, higher interest on deposits, and lower or even no transaction fees. This year's theme celebrates the advantages of credit union membership. Value, trust and service are just some of the many benefits of being a credit union member. You are in charge of your money and your credit union. At SAFE Federal Credit Union, we are proud of our heritage as a cooperative financial services provider and our connection to the 49,000 credit unions worldwide. On October 15, we'll join credit unions and their members around the world to celebrate International Credit Union Day in recognition of the benefits those institutions bring to their members.
