On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Selfreliance Federal Credit Union joins credit unions around the world in celebrating the 78th anniversary of International Credit Union Day®. This year’s theme, “A Steady Signal in a Noisy World,” highlights the important role credit unions play in providing stability, trust, and financial support when people need it most.
Since 1948, credit unions have come together each year on the third Thursday of October to recognize the positive impact the credit union movement has on members and communities worldwide. Today, more than ever, the cooperative values that credit unions were built upon continue to make a difference in people’s lives.
Unlike traditional for-profit financial institutions, credit unions are member-owned and focused on helping individuals and families achieve financial success. Every day, credit unions put people before profits by offering affordable financial products, personalized service, and a commitment to strengthening the communities they serve.
For generations, Selfreliance Federal Credit Union has remained dedicated to helping members reach their financial goals. From opening a first savings account and financing a home to supporting local businesses and community organizations, we are proud to serve as a trusted financial partner for our members.
International Credit Union Day is also a reminder that we are part of a global movement. Credit unions around the world help millions of people gain access to safe savings, affordable loans, and financial opportunities that improve lives and build stronger communities.
As we celebrate International Credit Union Day, we thank our members for their continued trust and support. Your membership is what makes our credit union strong, and together we continue to build a brighter financial future for our community.
Happy International Credit Union Day from all of us at Selfreliance Federal Credit Union! We look forward to serving you and your family for many years to come.
