World Council is the leading voice for advocacy and governance on behalf of the international credit union community. World Council promotes economic freedom and the sustainable growth of financial cooperatives across the globe through education, collaboration, and community-based development projects.

What We Do

World Council activities and services are conducted through our three-pronged structure:

• Our development programs promote economic security, resilience and livelihoods strengthening through the sustainable development of local, well-managed savings-led financial institutions to empower millions of marginalized and traditionally unbanked people;
• The trade association advocates internationally to achieve better legislative and regulatory outcomes for credit unions and their members, provides education and global networking, champions the credit union and cooperative financial institution model worldwide, and grows and strengthens the credit union system with technical assistance, training and tools for management, outreach and networking;
• Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions partners with WOCCU to advance credit union development, engagement, relief, and networking between U.S. and international peers.
