Today in the UK there are about 700 credit unions with assets exceeding 200 million pounds. 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). When organizing the credit union it is important that people know each other and know the extent to which each of them is trustworthy. Corporate alliances are intermediaries between credit unions and financial markets.
