At Catalyst Corporate, you’re part of a cooperative that is comprised of more than 1,400 member and client credit unions throughout the country. We believe thatEmpower your Financial Future cooperative nature – of people helping people – leads to a brighter financial future for all. 

On October 20, 2022, the credit union community will come together to celebrate the 74th anniversary of International Credit Union (ICU) Day®! This year’s theme is “Empower Your Financial Future with a Credit Union™.” At Catalyst Corporate, our mission is to empower our credit unions to be more innovative and more valuable to your members.

ICU Day celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement. The day has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948. The day is set aside to reflect on the credit union movement’s history, promote its achievements, recognize the dedication of hard work and share member experiences.
