The Financial Services Authority and credit unions ‐ A new era in regulation?

Abstract

This paper examines the regulatory regime of the Financial Services Authority towards the credit union movement in Great Britain as contained in the Credit Union Sourcebook. The author discusses the merits of a strong regulatory regime towards credit unions within Great Britain and concludes that such an approach could improve the traditional perception of credit unions, increase the protection of members and increase awareness of the benefits of joining a credit union.
