A credit union is a financial co-operative organized from a group of people with a shared field of membership. This could include workers in the same factory, members of a church, or farmers in a community, to name only a few examples.
The objective of a credit union is to not only educate the members about thrift, regular savings and the wise use of credit but to provide it.
As a co-operative, a credit union is a democratic and non-profit organization. Members invest a small amount, called a share, to join. This transaction allows members to be owners of the credit union. And, it entitles them to elect a board of directors, who set policy and may appoint a manager.
