Since 1948, credit unions around the world have come together each year on the third Thursday in October to celebrate the credit union movement.  This year, we celebrate 76 years of International Credit Union Day (ICU Day) under the theme "One World Through Cooperative Finance". It speaks to how credit unions and other community-based financial cooperatives are still bringing people together to grow financial inclusion and well-being for all. 

ICU Day 2024 is a celebration of the impact credit unions and other financial cooperatives have made-and continue to make for their members. It is also a chance to be thankful for the lives and communities that have been improved by our movement. ICU Day highlights the many ways that credit unions across the world help members work towards achieving their financial goals.

The credit union movement started over 150 years ago in Europe and was built on the principle of "people helping people."  We have seen that philosophy in action for more than 100 years, with credit unions providing access to affordable financial products and striving to meet the needs of underserved communities. 

Nebraska Energy Federal Credit Union (NEFCU) is honored to be a part of this proud tradition. We invite everyone to join in celebrating this day.  You can share your stories on social media using #ICUDay or visit the NEFCU Facebook page and tell us why you are a credit union member!
