Introducing three epic music videos that all credit unions can use to celebrate and promote International Credit Union Day!

What do you get when you combine the talents of eight young credit union advocates from all over North America? An original rap, a wild Lady Gaga tribute and an epic Journey classic all created to promote all that’s good and right about credit unions.

What? We took six awesome credit union attributes and set them to music.

1. Membership is open to all
2. Members call the shots
3. Rates and fees should benefit members
4. Credit unions are just as accessible as banks
5. Financial education should be free and available to all
6. Giving back to the community is a priority

Who? Eight of our Young & Free Spokespeople came together to collaborate at our recent Spokester Summit in Indiana. Dex from Alberta, Janelle from Michigan, Jenn from St. Louis, Kaylie from Ontario, Lee from Alabama, Matt from Indiana, Michelle from New Mexico and Seth from Maine. Alex  from Tennessee and Darryl from South Carolina weren't able to make the trip, but were with us in spirit!

Share far and wide! Please spread the word about these videos on International Credit Union Day this Thursday, October 20 and beyond. Here are some ways to share the credit union love:

• Post to Facebook and Twitter
• Embed on your website or blog
• Write an article about them
• Include in a member email blast
• Tell the local media
• Encourage employees to post on their social media sites

Enjoy the videos!
