Typically, donor contributions to the credit unions are targeted and used in the same statutory requirements and restrictions as the Mutual Financial Aid fund as a whole. Credit unions attract people in the first place by the opportunity to get cash loan (credit) - quickly and relatively inexpensively. Typically new members of the credit union become citizens having suretyship or recommendations from their friends - members of the credit union. Members of credit unions place in credit unions usually free fund balances, ie those that remain after expenses devoted to education of children, the acquisition of new properties, additional pension benefits, etc. The supreme body of the World Council of Credit Unions is the Assembly, which elects the president and the board of directors of WOCCU.
