World Council of Credit Unions

World Council of Credit Unions works to advance financial inclusion through the credit union and cooperative model by engaging in international advocacy, development, education and networking that empowers underserved populations, and promotes more equitable and resilient communities. WOCCU represents national and regional credit union associations in more than 80 countries. On behalf of our members, WOCCU advocates to reduce regulatory burden and enable credit unions to strengthen their resilience and grow. We also serve as the bridge that connects credit union systems around the world. Leveraging our network of credit unions, we also support financial markets in growing economies by partnering with public and private donor agencies to provide financial services and other assistance that helps build resilient livelihoods for underserved populations. Finally, Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions, WOCCU's strategic partner, is a separate 501c3 established to advance the shared vision of expanding financial inclusion through a vibrant and growing global credit union system.
