UMassFive Celebrates International Credit Union Day, 50,000-member Milestone
HADLEY — UMassFive College Federal Credit Union joined credit unions worldwide in celebrating International Credit Union Day, an annual event that commemorates the achievements and global impact of the credit-union movement.
This year, UMassFive has an extra special reason to celebrate, having recently surpassed the milestone of 50,000 members banking at the not-for-profit financial cooperative. As part of the celebration, UMassFive invites its members to visit a local branch during the week of Oct. 15 to pick up a “Credit Unions Rock” bumper sticker and enjoy light refreshments.
“We couldn’t be prouder to reach this 50,000-member milestone,” said Craig Boivin, UMassFive’s vice president of Marketing. “Our success is rooted in the commitment we make to each member, providing them with personalized financial solutions that enhance their financial wellness. This achievement is a reflection of the trust our members place in us and our cooperative, people-first approach to finance.”
Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. This year’s day, Oct. 17, marks its 76th anniversary under the theme “One World Through Cooperative Finance.” Globally, credit unions serve more than 403 million members in 98 countries.
