“A Credit Union
is not an ordinary financial concern, seeking to enrich its members at the expense of the
general public.
Neither is it a Loan Company, seeking
to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates…
The Credit Union is nothing of the
kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social
ideal.”
Alphonse
Desjardins
(Mayor of Montreal 1893)
