Desert Financial Credit Union’s Post

🏦💡 Did you know that the concept of a Credit Union was born out of a vision for financial empowerment? 💰💪 Back in 1900, in the town of Levis, Quebec, Canada, Alphonse Desjardins founded what is considered the world's first-ever credit union. Then 9 years later in 1909, he assisted in opening St. Mary's Cooperative Credit Association, the first U.S. credit union, in Manchester, New Hampshire. 🌍 Desjardins believed that financial services should be accessible to all, not just the privileged few. Fast forward to today, and credit unions continue to embody this spirit of cooperative finance. They're not-for-profit, member-owned institutions, dedicated to helping individuals and communities thrive. 💲 From humble beginnings to global impact, the story of the very first credit union is a testament to the power of community and financial inclusion. Let's continue to support these institutions that put people over profits. 💚 #MyICCU #CreditUnionHistory #FinancialEmpowerment #CommunityMatters #SolutionsForLife

According to the Emergency Events Database, there were 399 disasters related to natural hazards in 2023, which affected more than 93 million people, and cost more than $202.7 billion. These harrowing figures don’t include the impact of the more than 110 armed conflicts currently happening around the world. Fortunately, there’s a bright spot amid the gloom: the role that credit unions can play during times of trouble. Google some version of “How credit unions help in disaster,” and you’ll find plenty of heartening examples of credit unions stepping up to help people both in their own backyards and around the globe. Why are credit unions so well-suited to help in tough times? In this month's CUInsight.com article, we outline three critical elements, with examples from Inclusiv, World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), GoWest Credit Union Association, National Credit Union Foundation, and STCU.
