How does that have anything to do with being non-profit?



MasterCard Worldwide was a non-profit cooperative until 2006.


For some reason I'd thought that for-profit cooperatives existed. Thanks!


They do.A lot of coops are for-profit.

E.g. it is common for cooperative store-chains to pay out dividends from profits to all members proportional to the amount of money you spend with them.
