The Eight Cooperative Principles
Cooperative. That’s what a credit union is. And what is a cooperative you ask? A cooperative is a business that is owned and directed by its consumers and pools their resources for mutual benefit. Credit unions fall into this category of cooperative organizations because their members play a vital role in the success of the credit union, and they own a piece of the credit union upon opening an account. As cooperative institutions, credit unions live by the eight cooperative principles.
Voluntary and open membership
Credit unions are voluntary, cooperative organizations, offering services to people willing to accept the responsibilities and benefits of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.
Democratic member control
Cooperatives are democratic organizations owned and controlled by their members, one member one vote, with equal opportunity for participation in setting policies and making decisions.
Member economic participation
Members are the owners. As such they contribute to, and democratically control, the capital of the cooperative. This benefits members in proportion to the transactions with the cooperative rather than on the capital invested.
Autonomy and independence
Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If the cooperative enters into agreements with other organizations or raises capital from external sources, it is done so based on terms that ensure democratic control by the member and maintains the cooperative autonomy.
Education, training, and information
Cooperatives provide education and training for members, elected representatives, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of the cooperative.
Cooperation among cooperatives
Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, state, regional, national, and international structures.
Concern for community
While focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for the sustainable development of communities, including people of modest means, through policies developed and accepted by the members.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Cooperatives believe we are stronger when a proactive effort is put forth to engage everyone in governance, management and representation.
