A Blueprint to Double Credit Union Lending by 2030 - Scottish Webinar

Join for the exclusive launch of our groundbreaking white paper: "A Blueprint to Double Credit Union Lending by 2030."

With 9 million people declined for credit in 2023 and another 5 million too afraid to apply, the opportunity for credit unions to grow their loan books has never been greater.

Drawing on unprecedented insights from £1.5 billion in annual lending decisions across 50+ credit unions, NestEgg's white paper outlines a roadmap to scale sector lending to £4 billion by 2030 – all while staying true to the co-operative mission of building financial resilience.

Scotland presents a particularly compelling opportunity within this landscape. Despite most applications coming from deprived neighbourhoods, Scottish credit unions achieve higher average credit scores and lower bad debt rates than the UK average – a paradox that reveals the power of the credit union model.

Be among the first to discover how the 'credit union difference' drives this exceptional performance and what it means for scaling ethical lending across Scotland. With strong community roots and collaborative approaches, Scottish credit unions are uniquely positioned to unlock growth and this event will help you navigate the opportunities to bring more benefits to even more members.
