Testimonials

SARAH NEWTON MP ...
SUPPORTING CORNISH COMMUNITY BANKING

"I am enthusiastic supporter of Cornish Community Banking, and of its purpose, not to make profits, but to improve the financial health of local people."

"The Credit Union Current Account offered by Cornish Community Banking entitles users to much of the same services enjoyed by customers of high street banks. Money can be easily paid into and taken out the account, and users can shop on the internet. What makes the account special is its lack of hidden charges, and the access it gives users to helpful customer service and individually tailored financial advice."

"I am proud to support Cornish Community Banking by using its services in my role as a Member of Parliament. I would urge people to consider joining, to become part of a financial community of ordinary people working together to use their money to benefit themselves, their families, and their local area."
 

LEANNE ...
HAPPY MEMBER OF CORNISH COMMUNITY BANKING

"As a single mum with four children, Leanne admits that money can get a bit tight: “I go along fine and then something crops up that blows my budget right out of the water."

"In the past Leanne has borrowed from doorstep lenders: “They charged me such high interest rates that I won’t touch them again. I’ve also heard that they use extreme pressure if you miss a payment."

"Leanne has now opened a savings account with Cornish Community Banking to help her cope with any unexpected bills: “I pay an amount into my account weekly by standing order. It’s easy to save because I’m putting money away without giving it a second thought.”

"Leanne’s saving paid off last year when she had to apply for a loan. “My car had been off the road for months because I simply could not afford the repairs. Thanks to my saving track record, I was given a loan at an extremely low interest rate."

“Three quarters of my weekly standing order goes towards my loan repayment and a quarter into my savings account. That’s what I like – you can pay off what you have borrowed and continue to save.”
