Credit Unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives. That means each member (or to translate into banking terms "account holder") is an equal owner of the credit union. Through membership, members pool their savings and from that pool make loans to other members. As the loans are paid back to the credit union, money is generated through interest payments that can be used to pay dividends to members for their savings.
