Like any financial institution, credit unions have the financial resources. Representative organization, leading the coordination work in the field of development of both global and national credit union movement is the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) established in 1971 (headquartered in Madison, USA). The economic basis of credit unions - finances of a household. The main objective of the credit union - to ensure financial stability of a household, to ensure the priority of their shareholders' financial interests. When organizing the credit union it is important that people know each other and know the extent to which each of them is trustworthy. The right to use the services of the credit union have only its members.
