I recently met Richard Munro, the director at Commsave Credit Union Ltd, in Moulton Park, Northampton. Commsave is a ‘not for profit’ credit union owned and controlled by its members and has become one of the most successful credit unions in the UK.
Currently serving over 32,500 members, Commsave aims to promote access to responsible credit as well as equipping people to manage their own money effectively.
Their vision is to ensure people achieve long-term wellbeing by creating a world in which everyone is financially included. I first visited Commsave some years ago in Northampton and I support them moving forwards.
The government supports businesses in this sector and encourages safe access to responsible credit as well as new initiatives to educate people about money management and saving.
