Ascensus Recognizes International Credit Union Day®

BRAINERD, Minn. - Oct. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Ascensus, the nation’s largest independent retirement plan and college savings services provider, is pleased to recognize International Credit Union (ICU) Day®. Celebrated on October 15, 2015, ICU Day recognizes credit unions for their hard work and raises awareness about the difference credit unions make for their members and communities.

The 2015 ICU Day theme is People Helping People®. Credit unions and associations throughout the world will celebrate ICU Day with fundraisers, open houses, contests, picnics, and parades.

Ascensus has enjoyed a strong relationship with credit unions for over 30 years. Many of the company’s credit union clients started their relationship with Ascensus in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s just after Traditional IRAs were created, and remain with Ascensus today. Over the last three years, Ascensus has done business with more than 4,500 credit unions, and the company currently performs the IRA and HSA administration for over 3,700 of these clients.

In honor of ICU Day, Ascensus will join credit unions in celebrating their history, achievements, and long-standing philosophy that working together toward a common goal makes a difference in the lives of 217 million members around the world.

“Credit unions are not just an integral part of our business at Ascensus—they play a significant role in the banking and financial services marketplace,” said Kevin Boyles, vice president of business development at Ascensus. “The credit unions’ ‘People Helping People’ approach to their members and communities makes them increasingly indispensable in assisting Americans as they look to save for retirement and healthcare expenses. Ascensus is proud to celebrate credit unions on this special day.”
