What is the Credit Union Movement?

Credit unions were first developed with the mission to provide a better quality of life to communities by providing a place for people to manage their finances in the best conditions possible. The credit union movement was then developed to move toward universal financial education, literacy, and stability. Today, credit unions continue to strive for more accessible financial services and put the needs of their members, community, and employees above anything else.
