This year, we celebrate 76 years of International Credit Union Day under the theme “One World Through Cooperative Finance”. It speaks to how credit unions and other community-based financial cooperatives are still bringing people together in these divided times to grow financial inclusion and well-being for all.
Every year, in the last few months, there’s an increase in financial scams. Scammers take advantage of the busy shopping season and the spirit of giving to catch people off guard. It could be an innocent-looking email from a trusted retailer or an offer that seems too good to pass up. The risks are real, and the consequences can be costly.
We are delighted to let our savers know that we will be paying interest payments into members’ share accounts this week.
On Friday 13th Sep 2024, Clockwise hosted and in-branch event alongside the Money and Pensions Service & the Illegal Money Lending Team.
Members of the public could drop in to get financial advice and help, ask any questions about their pension & meet the Stop Loan Sharks team including Sid the Shark!
Do you have savings? Whether you’re saving for a new home, a holiday, or simply building a cushion for unexpected expenses, every pound you save
Clockwise is one of the UK’s most exciting, dynamic and fast-growing financial co-operatives. We serve the people of Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. As a not-for-profit organisation, we can pass on the savings to our members by providing affordable loans, safe savings and ethical financial products and services. This means that your membership contributes to keeping money within the local community.
A Credit Union is a financial cooperative owned and controlled by its members. Much like a High Street bank, Credit Unions can provide savings, loans and a range of services to their members. Unlike a bank, Credit Unions do not have to answer to shareholders or investors. So the emphasis is always on providing the best service to members – not maximising profits.
Credit Unions can consider all loan applications from people in our communities, regardless of background, including those who are in receipt of benefits. A Credit Union is a not-for-profit organisation, so our focus is on improving the financial well-being of our members and helping the local community.
