§ 301. Purposes.

(a) General rule.--A credit union may be incorporated under this title for the purpose of promoting thrift among its members, creating a source of credit for such members at reasonable rates of interest and providing an opportunity for its members to use and control their own money on a democratic basis in order to improve their economic and social condition.

(2) To act as an intermediary for credit union funds between members and other corporate credit unions.
