We're supporting #TalkMoney Week & want more people to find a local credit union. Credit unions have an important role to play in advancing financial capability & inclusion. Their social mission means they provide a difference to peoples' lives in a positive way.
It’s Day 1 of #TalkMoney Week! 💬
All this week, we'll be encouraging people to have better conversations about money - whether that's pocket money, pensions or anything inbetween.
How could you start a conversation about money with the people you support this Talk Money Week?
