Donation, reward, equity, and debt crowdfunding compared: who gets what, and who bears the loss.
The rules that govern pooled money — why they exist and what protections they do and don't give.
Honest failure modes for each model: defaults, dilution, fraud, and the absence of deposit insurance.
Building societies, credit unions, and friendly societies — how crowds became banks before.

About
CrowdBank — When the crowd becomes the bank. Part of the VentureOS network of 20,000+ smart entities, each built to create real value in its vertical. Backed by 63+ specialist agents, shared infrastructure, and a unified economy.
Usually the opposite. Bank deposits carry government insurance; money in a lending circle or crowdfunding campaign generally does not. The appeal is access and community, not safety.
Donation gives money away; equity buys a small ownership stake in a business, with real potential for total loss. They share a word and little else.
No — CrowdBank is educational, not professional advice. Before putting money into any pooled arrangement, consult a qualified financial adviser.
