Taylorville Community Credit Union (TCCU) will join with thousands of other credit unions across the U.S. and around the globe to celebrate International Credit Union Day on Thursday, October 17. TCCU members are invited to participate in the event at any of the credit union’s four locations in Taylorville, Hillsboro, Litchfield and Pana.

International Credit Union Day was established to help credit unions celebrate and thank their members. 

“It’s a time for all credit unions to celebrate – and point out – the many important differences between credit unions and other financial institutions,” says TCCU President, Will Perkins.

“For example, credit unions are not-for-profit, and member-owned and managed.”

Perkins also points out that credit union Board members are strictly volunteer – and receive no compensation for their time and talents. And they must themselves be members of the credit union.

“Credit union members also get to vote for and elect the members of their Board of Directors, so they have an active voice in the credit union’s operations.”

On Thursday, October 17th, each TCCU office will hold its own event to mark the day and thank their members for their membership and loyalty.

Members are encouraged to visit TCCU’s website (www.TCCU.org) or call their local branch location for details on the day’s events and schedule. 

TCCU is a not-for-profit financial institution and has served the financial needs of its membership since 1956. Membership is open to anyone who lives or works in Shelby, Christian or Montgomery Counties.
