The theoretical referential was built based on three axles: 1) the solidarity economy; 2) the constitutive elements of the communitarian organization; 3) the communitarian development banks. The methodology of the research was based on qualitative research, with a social constructivist epistemological approach, by using an ideographic classification. The option for the action research demanded the use of the speech analysis, as the focus of the research included a set of subjective aspects related to the experience of São Rafael community in the organization of the Banco Comunitário de Desenvolvimento Jardim Botânico.
