SUCCESS STORY OF THE POLISH CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT

7 Thoughts fundamental to Development of Credit Unions in Poland

1. Credit unions provide access to financial services to common people enabling them to meet their goals and improve their economic and social conditions

2. Credit unions are an integral part of Poland’s formal financial sector

3. Building financial systems for the less-affluent means creation of sound domestic financial intermediaries that can mobilize domestic savings. Capital from foreign donors and social investors will diminish as local financial institutions and markets mature

7 Thoughts fundamental to Development of Credit Unions in Poland

4. People need a diversified range of financial services matching their different needs

5. Credit unions are market-oriented institutions. While their rates are among the lowest on the market, credit union operations are subject to market forces

6. Credit unions are sustainable financial institutions relying only on their members

7. The government’s role in development of credit unions is to create conditions for them to operate. Credit unions should be able to decide on what ? and how ?
