The credit union idea evolved from the cooperative activities of early 19th century Europe. Over the years, credit unions spread to communities around the world. In the early 1900s Alphonse Desjardins started a credit union in Lévis, Quebec. Shortly thereafter, Americans Edward Filene and Roy Bergengren, helped establish credit unions in the United States. As TCT joins in this unique celebration, know that you are joined by more than 403 million members in 98 countries who also recognize and celebrate the credit union difference! Globally, credit unions will be celebrating the success of the credit union movement and collaborating to raise awareness of its “People-Over-Profits” philosophy. Financial well-being for all is the cornerstone of the movement and throughout their history, credit unions have helped empower their members to attain their financial goals. Happy International Credit Union Day from TCT!
