International Credit Union Day 2024

Portadown Credit Union Celebrates International Credit Union (ICU) Day® 2024: One World

Portadown Credit Union is proud to unite with credit unions worldwide to celebrate International Credit Union (ICU) Day on Thursday, October 17, 2024. This marks the 76th anniversary of ICU Day, a moment dedicated to honouring the enduring legacy of the credit union movement, highlighting its accomplishments, and recognising the role credit unions play in enriching the lives of their members.

Since its inception in 1948, ICU Day has been observed on the third Thursday of October. This year’s theme, One World, underscores the integral part that credit unions play in fostering global solidarity through member-owned, cooperative financial systems. In an era where divisions seem to widen, this theme reinforces the credit union ethos of "people helping people" and their power to bring individuals and communities closer together. Commitment from credit unions remains unwavering to deliver financial solutions that prioritise members' needs over profit. From our trusted in person services to our convenient online presence, credit unions continue to support communities across the island. Through our community sponsorships and community development projects, credit unions have been a strong pillar in giving back to the community.

Paula Larkin, Manager at Portadown Credit Union said “Portadown Credit Union has proudly served the Portadown area for 60 years, supporting a membership base of 13,000 individuals. Over the past year, Portadown Credit Union has provided 6 million in loans, contributing to the economic wellbeing of the local community. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Portadown Credit Union is dedicated to the financial health of its members, offering a comprehensive range of services tailored to their needs and the needs of the community."

To celebrate, we will be giving 2 members £50* each! GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Congratulations to our winners Jacqui Scullion and Kathy Foy.
