What is a Credit Union?

A credit union is an organization owned and democratically controlled by its members, a limited group of persons having a common bond of occupation, association, or residence. Its purpose is to promote thrift, to provide a convenient inexpensive source of credit for worthwhile purposes, and to furnish a means for the wise management of their own financial affairs.
