Savings and loan associations emerged in the second half of the 19th century. These were institutions that collected savings deposits—usually small amounts—and granted loans. They were established on a cooperative basis by professional, economic, or territorial associations, as well as by the state.
In the Kingdom of Poland, there were two types of such institutions: state savings banks and municipal savings and loan associations. The rules governing the operation of municipal savings and loan associations were set forth in the Act of 1886, as amended in 1906. These societies were owned by municipalities, had no separate legal personality, and were not subject to any central supervisory bodies, which resulted in their extensive decentralization.
The lack of oversight and the poor training of those managing them meant that municipal savings and loan associations often operated ineptly, which frequently led to their bankruptcy. Despite this, they were practically the only source of credit for small-scale agricultural property. The law permitted the granting of long-term loans (over ten years), but due to limited funds, the credit unions focused mainly on small, short-term loans.
The operations of savings and loan associations in the Kingdom of Poland came to an end with the outbreak of World War I.
