How long have credit unions been around?

The first credit union sprang up in Germany in the late 1800’s and then spread into Europe by the end of the 19th century. Credit unions were created to provide services that banks couldn’t give professionals, middle class and poor people. Credit unions have always been about the people and its members, never about profit.
