The Credit Union Commitment

  • Community outreach: Credit unions bring trustworthy and affordable financial services to areas not typically served by more traditional financial institutions or commercial banks. Expanding services to underserved areas gives members an opportunity to improve their lives.
  • Community service/giving back: SFCU maintains a focus on giving back to the communities we serve through donations, scholarships, and by providing financial education and sponsoring community events.

Examples of how credit unions worldwide empower members to improve their lives

  • Over the years, World Council of Credit Unions has implemented 300+ technical assistance programs in 90 countries. Through these programs, World Council steps in to support credit unions helping people build their lives for themselves and within their communities and provides market solutions for economic opportunity and stability.
  • World Council helps credit unions be a force for good in regions of transition from disruption to peace and economic empowerment.
  • This year, World Council has implemented development projects in seven countries: Burkina Faso, Ecuador, Guatemala, Kenya, Peru, Senegal and Ukraine. The programs focus on developing digital solutions to expand financial inclusion, increasing access to agricultural finance, incentivizing the creation of affordable housing options, and promoting legal and regulatory reform.
