One of the largest credit unions in the North West, which represents more than 32,000 members, is now using Vouchsafe to safely and easily onboard more people in financial need.
Manchester Credit Union (MCU) serves members across Trafford, Rochdale, Bury, Tameside, Stockport and High Peak, and with a strong local presence and growing digital offering, MCU continues to expand access to savings and credit across Greater Manchester.
Even people on decent incomes in and around Manchester can be knocked off track by one unexpected cost, as part of its service, MCU helps them access fair, affordable finance when they need it.
The Union selected Vouchsafe to improve onboarding speed, reduce fraud risk and make it easier for more people to access their credit, saving and everyday banking services.
Amanda Wilcocks, CEO of Manchester Credit Union, said:
“Credit unions succeed when they are both accessible and trusted. As we continue to grow, we need systems that let us onboard members quickly without compromising on security. Vouchsafe gives us that balance, helping us reach more people across Greater Manchester in a way that works for them.”
Chloe Coleman, CEO of Vouchsafe, said: “Credit unions are doing the heavy lifting in communities that mainstream finance has walked away from. The government is pushing the sector to double by 2030 and that doesn’t happen unless member onboarding gets radically easier and more reliable.”
“Vouchsafe is a tech-for-good-company, and we’re so proud to now be supporting access to fair credit and other affordable banking services in England’s second city.”
