About this event

Join NestEgg, thought leaders, stakeholders and other credit unions 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.

Be among the first to hear the data – and the exceptional voices – shaping the future of ethical lending in the UK.
