International Credit Union Day 07
Credit Unions from around the world are joining in solidarity to honor the credit union movement’s history and achievements by celebrating International Credit Union Day Thursday October 18, 2007.

The credit union movement in The Bahamas is a shining example of how Bahamians have come together to build a successful and financially sound organization. The credit union movement allows the members access to resources to fulfill their economic dreams while enabling them to become owners of financial institutions. The more than 31,000 members of the Bahamian co-operative movement control over 205 million dollars in assets.
