World Council of Credit Unions has been and continues to be involved in creating new credit union movements throughout the world. The operational guide available here provides a road map or guide of critical elements that need to occur in the process of credit union organization and early operations. It focuses on elements necessary once a credit union is organized and volunteers are selected to provide leadership.

Main areas include:

• Key elements necessary to the sound initiation of credit union operations
• Tools required to put those elements in place
• A time frame to guide sequential steps leading to sound operations
