Credit unions attract people in the first place by the opportunity to get cash loan (credit) - quickly and relatively inexpensively. Among the U.S. credit unions, there are three groups that differ in terms of assets, shareholders, and business services. In the case of default the shareholder - individual will respond with its property and, in addition, is jointly and severally liable with the credit union's commitments. The supreme body of the World Council of Credit Unions is the Assembly, which elects the president and the board of directors of WOCCU.
