The rotating credit associations of Brooklyn, New York, are institutions which have been transplanted from the West Indies. The association is an alternative to the United States banking system and offers immigrants, illegal aliens, and permanent residents alike the opportunity to alternately save and borrow small sums of interest-free money.
