Today, Thursday, October 16, 2025, we join over 74,000 credit unions worldwide in celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day®, marking the 77th anniversary of this global event. This year’s theme, “Cooperation for a Prosperous World”, highlights the power of cooperative finance in building inclusive and sustainable communities.
Celebrated every third Thursday of October since 1948, ICU Day is a time to reflect on the credit union movement’s history, promote its achievements, and share member experiences. It is a day to recognize the hard work of credit unions and their positive impact on communities worldwide.
At Derbyshire Community Bank, we are proud to be part of this global movement. Our mission is to provide accessible financial services that empower individuals and strengthen communities. By offering affordable loans, savings options, and financial education, we help our members achieve their financial goals and contribute to the prosperity of Derbyshire.
