Clockwise Credit Union

Clockwise Credit Union, a not for profit financial co-operative for people living in Leicestershire and Rutland, has helped five members to shop, pay bills and find online courses through one on one sessions. 

Clockwise staff have become digital champions and are holding bi-weekly sessions for beginners.

For one member, being online has allayed fears about bank opening hours, as it enables her to transfer money to her daughter who is off to college.  Another was so exhilarated by hers that she’s signing up for free internet courses at her local library.

This is only the beginning - over the next 6 months, Clockwise aims to help a further 15 members benefit from the net.

Helping more of its members access the net is only part of Clockwise’s aim to bring better financial wellbeing to an estimated 600,000 people living too far from access points or branches.  It’s also developing better web based solutions and wants as many members as possible to benefit.
