On October 17, 2024, credit union members around the world will celebrate International Credit Union Day®, an annual event commemorating the credit union movement’s impact and achievements. This year makes the 76th anniversary of this event, celebrated under the theme One World Through Cooperative Finance.
In recognition of this special day, Advia extends our heartfelt gratitude to our members for your continued support.
“We are proud to take part in this celebration and are incredibly thankful for our members,” says Nancy Loftis, Advia’s Vice President of Marketing & Public Relations.
