Security and financial stability is a very important issue in the activity of the Polish 'SKOK' credit unions, which developed a separate system of savings protection.This institutional safety net includes three distinct components. The first one is the supervisory institution - The National Credit Union. It imposes capital requirements and prudential regulations and restrictions. The next element of safety net is lender of the last resort - The Stabilisation Fund of National Credit Union. Its function is to provide liquidity to the solvent but illiquid credit union, should a run against one institution occur. The lender of last resort can also provide liquidity to the SKOK credit union system as a whole, should contagion occur. The last component of safety net is deposit insurance system - Mutual Insurance Company of the SKOK credit unions. In terms of the function of the financial safety net, the deposit insurance plays a key role in preventing contagion. The design and the functioning of safety net of the SKOK credit unions system is the same as in the majority of financial systems including the domestic banking system. The effective safety net affects the prevention and the resolution of crisis disturbance. The justification for the safety net is the need to reduce the risk of a 'bank run' and allow for immediate liquidity where necessary for the SKOK credit unions system. In the end, it is meant as a protection of depositors.

The SKOK Credit Unions, despite the fact that they are executing bank activities, don't have the legal status of banks. They aren't also credit institutions in the understanding of the Polish Banking Law Act, though in terms of the EU banking directives they are included in this group. Undoubtedly they are financial institutions, in the broad sense, both on the ground of European and Polish law, because they are providing banking (financial) services on the financial market. The SKOK Credit Unions have the other legal status from the institutions operating on the financial market. The National Credit Union is the only institution entitled to supervise the credit union sector and the TUW-SKOK Mutual Benefit Insurance Company operating the deposit insurance system. The safety net of SKOK credit institutions is based on these institutions in maintaining stable functioning of this special part of the domestic financial market.
