Happy Credit Union Day
Today we celebrate International Credit Union Day. Credit unions started with an idea: that people could pool their money and make loans to each other. It’s people helping people and it’s what credit unions do best. We are honored to serve over 27,000 members. Many of them are here in Southern Illinois but our membership base reaches around the globe. In honor of today, share with us why you become a credit union member.
