Believe workers' alliance in financial institution (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

credit union

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'financial institution' is the definition.
(credit union is a kind of financial institution)

'believe workers' alliance' is the wordplay.
'believe' becomes 'credit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'workers' alliance' becomes 'union' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'workers'' bit.).
'credit'+'union'='CREDIT UNION'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for credit union that I've seen is " Cooperative".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
