Abstract: The German credit unions show a perpetually increasing number of memberships for several decades. Yet, very little is known about the determinants of this growth. This article provides a first approach to explain the increasing number of memberships through the factors “merging activity” and “dividend return”. It turns out, that the absolute and relative level of dividend has no impact on the increasing memberships. Whereas, merging rather leads to a higher number of memberships.
