British Credit Union Growth 2003-13

Many challenges still remain
• Products and services • Governance • Regulation
![Page 6: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Products and services Focusing on lending
![Page 7: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Loan product • Most credit unions offer a single loan product:
– A level payment, relatively low interest rate loan, secured in part by savings
• But is this a product that is only needed and wanted by a small minority of consumers?
• Credit unions account for only 0.084% of all household borrowing.
• Only 0.732% of all non-housing consumer credit.

Use of Consumer Credit Sources in Britain

Choices Reflect Consumer Priorities
1. Credit now, when I want it. (credit cards, overdrafts, store credit)
2. Approved once for multiple loans (credit cards, overdrafts, etc.)
3. Little risk of “No” (store/catalog credit, payday, other high cost)
4. Low monthly payment (credit cards, hire purchase, store/catalog)
5. Convenient to apply on-line, mail-in (all except most credit unions)
6. Do not need to be a saver first (all except many credit unions)
7. Low APR (advantage credit unions . . . for higher-risk borrowers)
People pay more for what they actually want.

The Hypothesis:
Credit unions mostly loan to people who can’t get what they really want from other lenders.
Credit unions are rarely most consumers’ first choice.
If so, is this a sustainable business model?

The International Experience
Highly successful credit union movements:
1. Copy the competition’s products and then strive to deliver them better, cheaper, easier, friendlier.
2. Invest substantially in IT and automation.3. Get scale economies from robust networks of
back-office support organisations.4. Achieve a sustainable base by serving working
and moderate income consumers.

Governance
![Page 14: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Board of directors or committees of management?
• Most CUs established as small co-ops• Directors elected to direct, control, oversee
and usually manage the business• Board meetings typically staff meetings• Functions of governance and management
overlapped
![Page 15: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The transition to professional management• Challenging for directors• Hard to let go of operational engagement• And focus on the specific board function of
governance • Thinking about governance and
management often remain interwoven.
![Page 16: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some typical scenarios • When directors employ staff teams
– They continue to micro-manage or meddle
– The chair acts in practice as the real CEO– They just rubber stamp and approve
management decisions
![Page 17: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The challenge • To set out the principles of a logical, consistent
and integrated system of governance • Which draws inspiration from the literature• But which is bespoke to the credit union sector• And which clarifies the distinct nature of
governance – not as a higher tier of management
![Page 18: 14 paul jones debt sale](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030201/58a6c2ad1a28ab661f8b718d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why the study is important?
• To ensure that the strength of credit union governance leads and ensures business growth and improvement
