<p>This study examined the saving and investing behaviors of members of large credit cooperatives in General Santos City, focusing on the influence of membersâ€™ risk attitudes, cooperative investment schemes, and expected corporate earnings. The findings revealed that the majority of members possessed high educational attainment, stable full-time employment, and fell within the middle-income bracket-factors that contributed to financially prudent and consistent saving and investing habits. Members displayed a generally conservative approach to risk, favored low - to moderate-risk financial products, and demonstrated increased financial activity when cooperative earnings were perceived to be strong. Trust in the cooperative, particularly in its investment schemes and financial stability, emerged as a critical factor influencing both saving and investing decisions. Automatic savings mechanisms, incentives, and transparent financial reporting further reinforced positive financial behavior. Statistically significant relationships were found between members&#039; financial behaviors and their risk attitudes, the cooperative&#039;s investment offerings, and expectations of corporate earnings.</p>
