What is Credit union?
A '''credit union''' is a [[cooperative]] [[financial institution]] that is owned and controlled by its members. Credit unions differ from [[bank]]s and other financial institutions in that the members who have accounts in the credit union are the owners of the credit union - there are no external shareholders. Profits from the operations of a credit union are distributed to members in the form of dividends. The basic services of a credit union are to offer savings accounts and loans to members. {{stub}} [[Category:Money]] [[de:Genossenschaftsbank]] [[he:בנקאות קואופרטיבית]]
