VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.— Chartway Credit Union will join credit unions around the globe in celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day on October 17.
This year’s theme, "One World Through Cooperative Finance," honors the unity of credit unions – democratic, member-owned financial institutions that put people over profit – and their commitment to promoting financial well-being for all.
“Credit unions have always stood apart in their commitment to people and at Chartway, our culture, everything we do, is about putting people first, always. It’s who we are,” said Brian Schools, Chartway’s president and CEO. “Through our financial wellness programs, we empower members to take control of their finances, improve their quality of life, and achieve their dreams.”
In observance of International Credit Union Day, Chartway is also inviting the community to participate in upcoming financial wellness events and enhance their financial literacy with the Zogo Financial Education App, a free gamified financial literacy app available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, which features interactive lessons and rewards. App users earn virtual pineapples they can exchange for real-life rewards, like gift cards to their favorite stores. From October 17 to October 31, Chartway is doubling the number of Pineapples participants can earn, allowing them to accumulate rewards even faster. Simply download the app and complete the registration process using sponsor code CHARTWAY.
