Last week we met @mchshe.bsky.social @skinnock.bsky.social & Kate Pender to talk about why #AffordableCredit matters in strengthening communities & driving economic growth - & the need to scale #CreditUnions & #CDFIs which provide vital lifelines for communities & businesses. #FairBankingForAll

"What Do We Have In Common With Michael Sheen? Supporting A Fair Banking Act!" Great to have the support of Manchester Credit Union! 👏 #FairBankingForAll #FairBankingAct manchestercreditunion.co.uk/financial-ed...

Tweaks to a broken system won’t fix the UK’s credit crisis. Voluntary market fixes have failed to deliver fair, affordable credit for millions. It's time for bold, systemic change. Read our latest blog: filab.uk/4llAZg8 @fbfacampaign.bsky.social #FairBankingForAll

The poverty premium costs each parliamentary constituency £4.5million per year. @fairbydesign.bsky.social recommends a #FairBankingAct as a way to increase access to affordable credit and reduce the #povertypremium in this new briefing. #FairBankingForAll fairbydesign.com/wp-content/u...

Yesterday in Westminster @katrinamurraymp.bsky.social & other MPs highlighted the vital role of #CreditUnions. Thank you to @clivejonesmp.bsky.social for asking @torstenbell.bsky.social if government will back a #FairBankingAct to help credit unions grow. #FairBankingForAll bit.ly/40q5yZP

The sudden closure of the Financial Fairness Trust by Aberdeen shows that we cannot rely on voluntary approaches by profit-driven financial institutions to fix market failures, & that we urgently need solutions like a #FairBankingAct. filab.uk/4llAZg8 @fbfacampaign.bsky.social #FairBankingForAll

People on low incomes often pay more to borrow. Without affordable credit, many turn to high-cost lenders and spiral into problem debt. @fairbydesign.bsky.social's new report backs a #FairBankingAct to expand access to affordable credit. @fbfacampaign.bsky.social #FairBankingForAll bit.ly/4lpExxQ

"Fair access to affordable credit is not a niche social project — it’s an economic imperative." New @thefinancelab.bsky.social blog on why we can't rely on voluntary approaches to improve things for people & businesses across the UK. #FairBankingForAll

"Voluntary fixes won't solve the credit crisis.. A #FairBankingAct would be a powerful statement that access to affordable, ethical credit for consumers & businesses is not optional." New blog from @thefinancelab.bsky.social 👇 #FairBankingForAll financeinnovationlab.org/why-voluntar...

“That creates a poverty premium where people are having to pay higher prices, sometimes for basic goods” Really good to see Meg Hillier mention the poverty premium as part of the TSC's scrutiny of the Government’s financial inclusion strategy. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2529128...

In a new report, @stepchange.bsky.social finds that 4 in 10 UK adults would not be able to meet all of an unexpected £1,000 expense without borrowing. We need access to affordable credit. We need a #FairBankingAct now. @fbfacampaign.bsky.social #FairBankingForAll

📢 @stepchange.bsky.social finds that 4 in 10 UK adults would not be able to meet all of an unexpected £1,000 expense without borrowing, and points to a #FairBankingAct as a way to increase access to affordable credit. #FairBankingForAll www.stepchange.org/policy-and-r...

Thank you @runnymedetrust.bsky.social & @neweconomics.bsky.social for hosting the incredible Power to Prosper Summer Action Meet Up! A day of powerful stories, plans for the future, and a lot of joy. @fair4allfinance.bsky.social @thefinancelab.bsky.social

No Interest Loan Schemes (NILS) help people on low incomes to manage financial shocks. Here's a case study on how NILS are helping people in the North East, carried out by @mariacbooker.bsky.social at @fairbydesign.bsky.social y fairbydesign.com/we-launch-ne...

What incredible stories @fairbydesign.bsky.social @fair4allfinance.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org & Fair Banking APPG. 👏 Thanks for inviting us to be a part of this event, and highlighting the need for a #FairBankingAct as part of the government's Financial Inclusion Strategy. #FairBankingForAll

"The UK Government has a timely opportunity to reshape the financial system so that it truly works for everyone. Central to that vision should be a bold, legally grounded commitment: a #FairBankingAct." 👏 Sharon MacPherson, Financial Inclusion for Scotland. www.scotsman.com/scotsman-mon...

Was great to talk with @bbccymruwales.bsky.social about the #AffordableCredit crisis and the need for a #FairBankingAct. Thank you, diolch. @bbccymruwales.bsky.social #FairBankingForAll

Yesterday, BBC Radio Wales highlighted why it’s vital to expand access to #AffordableCredit through #CDFIs & #CreditUnions - and how a #FairBankingAct could help. #FairBankingForAll t.co/Avwkw67ZQF

Great to see the #FairBankingAct discussed at ‪@niassembly.gov.uk Committee for Finance last week, as part of their Banking Inquiry. Thanks to the Committee for inviting @thefinancelab.bsky.social to speak. Watch here: bit.ly/43sS1RM #FairBankingForAll

A compelling piece in this week’s @yorkshirepost.co.uk by Matt Smith, CEO at The Key Fund on the difference lending by #CDFIs makes to businesses and communities, and the need for a #FairBankingAct to support the sector. bit.ly/43xK6Us #FairBankingForAll #AffordableCredit

Charlotte’s powerful story shows why access to #affordablecredit when people need it is so important - no one should have to pay a #povertypremium to access financial products. bit.ly/43gp2k2 @fairbydesign.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org @bigissue.com #FairBankingForAll #Givemesomecredit
