The credit union concept originated in Germany during the mid-1800s. A group of farmers tired of high prices and outrageous interest rates combined their money to buy supplies and establish a common pool to borrow from at lower interest rates. Although credit unions have changed over the years to meet the demands of their members, a long-standing philosophy of "People Helping People" has remained the same.
