HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION DAY!


TODAY is International Credit Union Day.  The theme this year is"Credit Unions Unite for Good” Credit unions throughout the world will be celebrating the day with open houses, refreshments, picnics and parades.


That's right, throughout the WORLD. Many people believe that credit unions are unique to the United States, but the reality is that credit unions didn't even start here - the first credit union was actually established in Germany in the 1850s.  The idea was simple, a group of people who were hit with hard times and wanted to avoid high-priced loans by the lenders of the day so they simply worked out a way to lend to each other.  That model remains at the center of how credit unions operate today as not-for-profit, member-owned cooperatives.

Today all our Branches will be offering refreshments to our members to celebrate and thank our members for being a part of our credit union family.  Stop by and chat with your representatives.  Ask questions and check out our what we can do for you!  Check out our mortgage rates,  car loan rates, as well as our variety of savings and checking accounts all designed with you in mind.  We now offer business accounts, student accounts, credit cards, and all types of loans.  Compare what we have to offer to what you currently have.  We are here to help you, we live, work and play in your neighborhood.  Visit us today and bring a friend so they too can benefit from the credit union difference. Remember at Tropical Financial Credit Union you're “Right Where You Belong”

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION DAY!!
