Seven Co-operative Principles
JEN: Hey, cool guitar.
MUSICIAN: Thanks. Did you know that credit unions all over the world follow the seven co-operative principles?
JEN: No, actually I didn't.
MUSICIAN: It sets them apart from other financial institutions and benefits its members. So you know you've made the right choice in this crazy mixed-up world we live in. And that's because they are open, understanding and there's no discrimination. If you're doing fine or need help with your credit situation. And the members call the shots because CUs are so pragmatic. Every member gets a vote to keep things nice and democratic. The seven co-operative principles will guide you right along. The credit union helps me sing this song. In a credit union members stand to gain from any profit.
JEN: So if it does well, then that means better rates on my deposits?
MUSICIAN: Yup! As financial co-ops sharing is the key to their foundation. And they strive to keep their members well informed.
JEN: That's education!
JEN and MUSICIAN: The seven co-operative principles will guide you right along.
JEN: I don't know how I know the words to this song?
MUSICIAN: They will go the extra mile just to lend a helping hand, which…
JEN: Goes together nicely like my ham and pickle sandwich!
MUSICIAN: Not exactly, I was talking more about working together, both locally and globally
JEN: To make the co-op movement better.

MUSICIAN: The community's important to the credit union mission. Its focus is on members with its every decision.
JEN: You could say that serving others is its primary ambition.
MUSICIAN: The bus is here to pick up this enlightening musician…
JEN: The bus is here… wait what?
MUSICIAN: The bus is here. Hello Mister Driver all my change is in my pocket.
JEN: Well that was weird. Hmmm, needs more pickles.
BANK: Would you stop? Some people are allergic to music.
