CLEVR Money adds to Blackpool team

Anthony said: “I’m also enjoying getting to know my new colleagues and our newer members, and I’m loving the great new look of the office. Over the next few weeks I’ll be setting up appointment sessions in community hubs throughout the area, hopefully making it easier for people who struggle to get to the branch in Blackpool and for those who prefer a face-to-face meeting rather than applying on line.”

The team has also recently expanded, with the arrival of new loans officer Kenny Connelly and apprentice business administrator Jordan Moorhouse. They join assistant manager Andrew Moulding and loans officer Michelle Swain at the Birley Street office in Blackpool.

Jackie said: “With interest rates set at a fair level and capped by the government, we provide members with an ethical alternative to the sky-high interest rates of the doorstep and payday lenders, and a genuine option for those excluded by the banks.

Jackie added: “We also work with members to help make sure they can keep on top of their finances and many actually turn from borrowers into savers. In fact I’m delighted that members saved more than £172,000 in their Christmas savings accounts this year. It shows that being a member of a credit union really does work for many people, and we’re hoping to welcome many more into our club the new year.”

He will also be speaking to other organisations across the area to demonstrate the benefits to staff of getting involved with the credit union in the hope of welcoming new Payroll Partners.
