A Financial Cooperative
What is a Cooperative?
It is a business model structured around seven principles deeply rooted in democracy, economic participation, and sustainable growth of both the business and the community in which it serves. Cooperatives are owned by and operated for the benefit of the people at the heart of each organization, not outside investors.
The cooperative business model is diverse and dynamic in its application in almost all sectors of the world’s economy. Some cooperatives are businesses owned by their customers or their employees, and can be larger companies owned by a group of farmers or independent business owners coming together to scale their operations to compete in a growing marketplace.
These are the principles that guide cooperatives everywhere.
Membership is open to everyone. (Credit unions have specific geographical service areas.)
All voting members have an equal voice in making policies and electing representatives.
All profits are controlled democratically by members and for their benefit.
Co-ops are always independent, even when they enter into agreements with the Government and other organizations.
Co-ops educate and develop their members as well as their staff to provide skill and knowledge to achieve personal and organizational goals.
Cooperatives work with other co ops to strengthen the co-operative movement as a whole.
Cooperatives also work to improve and develop the community, both locally and internationally.
Cooperatives have a responsibility and take a leadership role in building and serving more diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities.
