Why do rural elderly have deep trust in rural credit cooperatives?

As early as 1950s, the outlets of China People's Bank in rural areas were changed to rural credit cooperatives. The purpose of rural credit cooperatives is "mutual assistance of farmers' funds", that is, farmers form credit cooperatives, and members contribute capital to form loans. Rural credit cooperatives are divided into the following departments: Rural Credit Cooperatives, International Finance Department of Rural Credit Cooperatives, Zheng Tong Rural Credit Cooperatives Training School, Credit Department of Rural Credit Cooperatives, etc. At present, it is under the dual leadership of China Banking Regulatory Commission and the State Council.

Rural credit cooperatives are banking financial institutions. The so-called banking financial institutions are also called deposit institutions and deposit currency banks. Their common feature is that deposits are the main liabilities, loans are the main assets, and transfer settlement is the main intermediary business, which directly participates in the creation process of deposit currency. Rural credit cooperatives are also credit cooperative institutions. The so-called credit cooperative institutions are cooperative financial institutions whose main purpose is mutual assistance, referred to as "credit cooperatives", which carry out deposit and loan business among members for the purpose of mutual assistance and self-help.

The establishment of credit cooperatives is directly related to the development of natural economy and small commodity economy. Due to the seasonal, decentralized and small-scale characteristics of agricultural producers and small commodity producers, it is difficult for small producers and farmers to get the support of bank loans, but objectively, the development of production and circulation must solve the difficulty of insufficient funds, so this kind of mutual aid self-help credit organization established by means of capital contribution and deposit has emerged.

Rural credit cooperatives are cooperative financial organizations composed of farmers' shares, which are democratically managed by shareholders and mainly serve them. They are legal financial institutions approved by the People's Bank of China. Rural credit cooperatives are an important part of China's financial system. Their main task is to raise idle funds in rural areas and provide financial services for agriculture, farmers and rural economic development. At the same time, organize and adjust rural funds, support agricultural production and comprehensive rural development, support various forms of cooperative economy and family economy, and limit and crack down on usury.
