Taking a decision to join a credit union, citizens create an organization through which they participate in the shared savings by mutual crediting and joint (collective) use of personal savings. Today, the World Council of Credit Unions is represented as members four regional confederations and twelve national associations. Among the U.S. credit unions, there are three groups that differ in terms of assets, shareholders, and business services. Share contributions are transferred to the credit union on the basis of membership for the whole stay of a shareholder as member of the credit union and are the basis of membership. Credit unions encourage savings of citizens, setting compensation payments (interest) on savings and provide from these savings loans to their members. To get a loan in the credit union a shareholder must be not only a formally adopted there, but necessary pay in cash contributions, the amount and order of payment of which approved by the General Assembly and fixed by the charter. The main advantage of credit unions consists in transparency, controllability, governance for shareholders.
