- A credit union
is a financial cooperative organized by people who have a common bond.
(i.e. employees of a company, church members, citizens of a specific
community, city or county, etc.).
- All members pool
their assets, providing funds for loans to those in need within the
membership.
- The members own
the credit union, electing volunteer directors from among the membership.
- Credit unions are regulated either by Federal or State
law, depending upon the source from which the group receives its charter.
- The principal
function of credit unions is to encourage savings and thrift and provide
consumers credit at favorable interest rates.
