​OneAZ Credit Union is thrilled to announce participation in the trailblazing Global Bridges journey to Ecuador, hosted by the World Council of Credit Unions. Leading the way for OneAZ are President & CEO Brandon Michaels and Board Director Martha Rozen. OneAZ is the only Arizona-based credit union participating in this groundbreaking experience to foster culturally rich connections between credit unions around the globe.

"It is an honor for OneAZ Credit Union to participate in the Global Bridges journey to Ecuador,” said Brandon Michaels, President & CEO of OneAZ. “This initiative underscores the importance of international collaboration and knowledge sharing among credit unions worldwide. Exploring Ecuador's unique approach to credit union systems and engaging with local leaders and members reinforces the global impact that credit unions have on members. Additionally, having one of our board members join us on this journey is a testament to our collective commitment to growth and innovation. We look forward to learning, connecting, and bringing back insights that will further enrich our practices and strengthen our community back in Arizona."

The World Council of Credit Unions’ Global Bridges concept provides a global experience for credit union leaders to connect and share best practices, explore innovative approaches to financial inclusion, and forge lasting connections among cooperatives with common values. This year, the Global Bridges journey will explore Ecuador’s unique approach to the credit union movement. Participants will visit Quito, Cuenca, and Latacunga, where they’ll engage with local credit union leaders to learn about their impact on their local communities.

OneAZ is joined by representatives from Virginia Credit Union, Carolina Foothills, Financial Center Federal Credit Union, and VyStar.
