Happy International Credit Union Day 2026!
We are celebrating this year’s theme,
At a time when many people face financial pressures and have lots of financial information to navigate, credit unions offer a member-focused way to save and borrow.
Why “A Steady Signal in a Noisy World”?
“In a world where financial pressures and information can sometimes feel overwhelming, credit unions have an important role to play in helping people manage their money with greater confidence.
At Advance Credit Union, we believe in putting our members at the heart of what we do. Through responsible lending, encouraging regular saving and providing clear information, we aim to support our members and contribute to stronger local communities. We recognise that every member’s circumstances are different. We aim to treat members fairly, communicate clearly and consider individual circumstances when providing our services.
We are proud to serve our local community and remain committed to providing responsible, member-focused financial services.
International Credit Union Day is an opportunity to celebrate the difference cooperative finance can make and reaffirm our commitment to the people and communities we serve.”

What Makes Credit Unions Different?
Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives that operate to serve their members and support their financial needs.
Building Stronger Local Communities
Credit unions are an important part of the communities they serve. By encouraging saving, supporting responsible borrowing and promoting financial education, they can contribute to greater financial awareness and resilience.
Advance Credit Union serves people who live or work in the Birmingham B postcode area, subject to our membership eligibility criteria.
