The Credit Union Story
Throughout Australia there are less than 100 different Credit Unions collectively holding more than $40.0 billion in assets, and providing community banking services to more than 3.5 million Australians.
Credit Unions are different to banks or other financial institutions in that on joining a Credit Union, you become a member which means you become part owner of the Credit Union and are entitled to a say in the running of your Credit Union. You have the right to vote at Annual General Meetings and participate in election of the Board of Directors.
Unlike the banks, the Credit Union makes decisions to benefit our members, profits are returned to members, as opposed to payment of dividends to shareholders.
