Huge thanks to @guardianheather.bsky.social for highlighting the call for a #FairBankingAct to bring banks together with #creditunions and #CDFIs to ensure people can access #affordablecredit when they need it. bit.ly/44dqFAv @coopparty.party.coop

The government has published their Financial Inclusion Strategy. What comes next? #FinancialInclusion #AffordableCredit #FairBankingAct #CommunityFinance #FairBankingForAll @thefinancelab.bsky.social @fairbydesign.bsky.social financeinnovationlab.org/the-governme...

Great to join the conversation in Glasgow! Listening to residents share the challenges they face in accessing affordable credit reinforces why initiatives like the #FairBankingAct matter. Huge thanks to everyone involved for exploring practical steps to boost financial inclusion. #FairBankingForAll

Thank you to Martin Rhodes MP, @pjferguson.bsky.social, @maureenburke.bsky.social & John Grady MP for meeting Glasgow residents to hear their experiences of being shut out of affordable credit, & how a #FairBankingAct could change this. #FairBankingForAll financeinnovationlab.org/youre-left-w...

Financial Inclusion, But Who Is Included? A Response to the 2025 Strategy 🙌👇 #FinancialInclusion #AffordableCredit #CommunityFinance #RaceEquity #FairBankingForAll @neweconomics.bsky.social @runnymedetrust.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/pulse/financ...

I was at the @coopparty.party.coop conference flying the flag for the @fbfacampaign.bsky.social campaign. The UK is a co-op outlier - with around 2% of people members of credit unions vs 80% in Ireland & 40% in the US. The Act could change that. Here's more: www.linkedin.com/in/jesse-gri...

This new Government strategy on financial inclusion is welcome, but it doesn’t go far enough – more change and progress is desperately needed, like a #FairBankingAct Find out more here: justmoney.org.uk/blog/lets-ma...

Response from @thefinancelab.bsky.social to the government's new Financial Inclusion Strategy 👇 #FairBankingForAll financeinnovationlab.org/financial-in...

"A commitment to a Fair Banking Act...would have shown that the government is serious about driving change at scale, rather than just hoping that banks will step up”. Read our response to the government's Financial Inclusion Strategy. #FairBankingForAll bit.ly/47FSceO

Today marks the launch of the Financial Inclusion Strategy. The Strategy must be seen as an important first step that sets the direction of travel to ending the poverty premium and financial exclusion. Read our full statement here: fairbydesign.com/response-uk-...

📢 The government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy is out. Some practical steps on #AffordableCredit are welcome, but it still falls short of the scale of change needed. A #FairBankingAct would provide the clear, measurable framework this issue deserves. #FairBankingForAll

In December 2024, the Government committed to a Financial Inclusion Strategy. Since then, officials, regulators, and consumer groups have worked in subcommittees developing the Strategy. With the Strategy’s launch imminent the question remains: will it be bold enough?

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...

"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...

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
