    Solution

    Credit unions are financial cooperatives that are owned and operated by their members, who are typically individuals with a common bond such as belonging to the same community or workplace. In contrast, commercial banks are typically owned by shareholders and operate for-profit. Credit unions often offer similar services as commercial banks, such as savings accounts, loans, and other financial products, but their ownership structure sets them apart.
