The strength of the Scottish League of Credit Unions is in supporting focused Credit Unions, at whatever stage of development is deemed appropriate by the members of each Credit Union. We recognise and respect the different needs and aspirations of individual Credit Unions and we do not seek to impose any particular model or developmental path.
Our Core purpose is to help our member Credit Unions become and remain:
Compliant→Sustainable→Co-operative
We do this by focusing on the 'Key Pillars'
Education through on-site & group training sessions using ready-made materials or bespoke solutions
Guidance on legislative, regulatory, compliance and financial issues and considerations
Networking by encouraging formal & informal contact between member Credit Unions, their volunteers and staff
Facilitation where member Credit Unions wish to co-ordinate or work together to achieve common goals
Representation to the Regulator, local, Scottish & UK Government, other Credit Union organisations and the media
Promotion by developing branding & advertising material templates that can be customised by Credit Unions
