Yes.

If you are looking at this in terms of accounting:

Shares are Equity type accounts (commonly represented by the account title "Common Stock")

In terms of Credit Unions:

Shares are essentially savings accounts that give you a stake in the growth of the Credit Union. Shares account holders often receive dividends based on the amount of money in their account.

In general, Equity refers to an ownership interest and the term is often interchangeable with Stock but they do not always mean the same thing.
