Can credit union and coop banks replace traditional banks completely?
If you want your answer, have a look at Desjardins in Quebec. They have something like half of the total marketshare.
Desjardins Group ranks 4th among the Safest Banks in North America according to Global Finance, and its capital ratios and credit ratings are among the best in the industry.

IDK why people are interpreting your question about the mechanics of everyone switching at the same time. It sounds to me like you’re asking more about the bigger picture problems it would solve with society, not whether the sudden change would be able to be handled by the banks. Is that what you’re looking for?

Thanks for your answer. You’re right, I was hoping to get more answers on the bigger picture change that would happen to society. Particularly since coops and credit unions are more democratic in nature, I wonder how different society would be with more direct control of how they money is managed.
