Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to identify the differences between credit unions in the Baltic states and draw conclusions about their poor development in the countries studied. The analysis show that in all the Baltic states the role of credit unions in providing access to banking services in the Baltic states is relatively low inadequate to the demographic and economic potential of these countries. Credit unions in the Baltic countries are not a homogeneous group. The differences relate to the principles of functioning, level of development, development dynamics and financial situation. The most advanced in terms of the level of development is Lithuanian credit union system.
