Happy International Credit Union Day to our RHAND family and friends!

Each year, credit unions around the world take a moment to celebrate what makes our movement extraordinary – our commitment to people helping people. This year’s theme, “Cooperation for a Prosperous World,” reminds us that when we work together, we not only strengthen our credit union, but also our communities and our country.

Standing Strong Through Challenges

The past year has tested us in many ways – from economic uncertainty to the everyday challenges faced by our members and communities. Yet, in every challenge, we’ve seen the resilient spirit of RHAND shine through.

Our members have supported one another. Our team has continued to innovate. Our cooperative model has proven, once again, that success built on shared values is the most enduring kind.

Through it all, RHAND has remained a place where people come together to achieve financial stability, opportunity, and peace of mind.

Cooperation: The Heart of Prosperity

At the heart of every credit union lies cooperation – the belief that when we pool our resources and work collectively, the entire community prospers.

That’s why RHAND continues to invest in initiatives that make a real difference:

• Expanding access to affordable, member-focused financial services
• Delivering financial education that empowers every stage of life
• Strengthening community partnerships and outreach
• Enhancing digital tools to make saving and borrowing easier for all members

Each of these efforts reflects our mission to support members not just in moments of prosperity, but through every season of life.

Looking Ahead with Confidence

As we celebrate International Credit Union Day 2025, we do so with optimism and resolve. Though the coming year may undoubtedly bring new challenges, it will also provide us with new opportunities to grow, to learn, and to serve you even better.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management, I extend heartfelt thanks to every RHAND member, volunteer, and employee. Your trust, cooperation, and commitment are what make RHAND more than a financial institution – they make it a family.

Together, we will continue to build a more prosperous world – one member, one goal, and one community at a time.

Happy International Credit Union Day!

Warm regards,
