CREDIT UNIONS have had phenomenal growth all over the world during the past generation, but many people still do not know what they are. Credit unions are neither banks nor savings-and-loan associations. Although they are in the moneymaking business and do make money, they are genuine cooperatives, set up for the purposes of helping the community as well as the individual. This book presents the basic philosophy of the credit union movement and shows how it is applied today in credit unions throughout the world. In direct and concrete language Mr. Dublin describes how a credit union should and should not operate. This book will serve as a handbook for students, newly elected credit union officials, employees, and experienced technicians in credit union work around the world. Chapters include: Who Can Organize a Credit Union, Credit Union Management, Responsibilities and Qualities of Credit Union Officers, Leagues, CUNA International and Their Affiliates, Credit Union Bookkeeping and the Financial Statement.

By providing financial services to small businesses and poor households -which normally lack such services- credit unions help secure growth with equity. The challenges faced by Latin America's credit unions today are likely to force them to further modernize and consolidate, fine tune their inherent advantages, improve mechanisms for prudential regulation, and find ways to increase their share of low and middle-income markets. Safe Money presents the new thinking on how credit unions can compete effectively in modern financial markets while still retaining their social mission.
