Credit Union in our Community 

Credit Union in your community?

Post Covid, we are rebuilding our community links. Could you host a volunteer credit union Community Hub? The main reason people don’t join credit union is because they don’t know about us. When we explain that we’re an ethical and trusted way enabling people to save regularly and borrow responsibly then they’re interested.

There is no cash handling, just a simple contact point for people in our communities to find out about credit union and some support in joining us. We can provide the marketing materials, resources and training. You provide the space, volunteers and time. Together we can enable our residents to manage their money well. 

Interested? Contact us on ceo@advancecu.org.uk or 0121 350 8883 and we’ll get you set up.
