Burlington, VT – Vermont Federal Credit Union celebrates International Credit Union Day with co-op giveaway.
The World Council of Credit Unions asks credit unions around the globe to join them in celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day each year on the third Thursday in October. This year, Vermont Federal celebrated the day with a week-long giveaway. The Credit Union asked members to complete the sentence, “It’s important for me to be a part of a co-op because” to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of five $100 gift cards to a local co-op. Responses from members included the importance being a part of a co-op because of the jobs and support it gives to the local community, the say they have in how it’s run, and feeling like a member and not just a number. The Credit Union also decorated the branches with a display of posters showing photographs of staff and community giving efforts over the years, as well as ones displaying this year’s theme of “The Authentic Difference”.
Vermont Federal Credit Union is a $900 million-plus full-service, not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution that has served Vermonters for more than 70 years, with eight locations currently serving over 50,000 members. Members are part of a cooperative, meaning they share ownership in the Credit Union and elect a volunteer board of directors. Vermont Federal Credit Union provides membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in all of Vermont. Vermont Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting its communities and helping Vermonters prosper, no matter where they may be on life’s journey. Learn more about Vermont Federal Credit Union.
