It’s been an incredible beginning for The Money Co-op, and we’re only just getting started! The positive response to our new brand has been amazing—from hundreds of members engaging on our social media to the great feedback we received at sector events like the Co-op Retail Conference (see video below) and The ABCUL Annual Conference.
Its been a busy few weeks! And here’s a sneak peek at just some of what’s coming up in the months ahead:
1. Improved ways to save & borrow
We’re always looking for ways to make managing your money easier, and we’ve already made some big improvements:
✔️ A new and improved website – It’s now easier to navigate, find the information you need, and apply for savings accounts or loans.
✔️ Our rebranded app – If you’re already using our app, you’ll notice it’s had a refresh to match our new look! If you haven’t updated it yet, be sure to do so next time you log in.
We’re committed to making saving simple and borrowing fair, and we’ll continue to improve your member experience throughout 2025.
2. More member engagement—We want to hear your stories!
One of the best things about The Money Co-op is our members—and we’d love to share your stories. Whether it’s a big life change we’ve helped with or just the convenience of payroll savings, we want to hear from you!
📢 Want to feature on our website? You can share your story here..
📸 Up for sending a video snippet or photo? We love seeing how our services make a difference, and a quick snap or video from your phone could bring it to life – just drop us a line.
(Of course, we understand that people don’t always think their story is worth sharing, or might be a bit shy! – but every story helps others see how The Money Co-op can work for them and we really appreciate your support).
3. Expanding our reach—help us grow the Money Co-op Community
We’re excited to announce that new employer partners will be joining The Money Co-op soon—helping even more people access fair and affordable financial services through their workplace.
🌍 Know a co-op, charity, or housing organisation that could benefit? We’d love to hear about it! Encourage them to visit our website here and get in touch, or drop us a line with a few details and we’ll follow up.
📢 Want to spread the word? We have downloadable posters and leaflets on our website—perfect for sharing at work or in your community.
4. New features & improvements—making money management easier
💬 Our chat messaging service – available through our online portal and app, it’s a quicker and more secure way to get in touch than email.
📚 Explore our Money Toolkit – our website is packed with helpful guides, articles, and tools to support you with everything from budgeting tips to understanding loans and building your savings. Whether you’re looking for practical money advice or just want to feel more confident about your finances, you’ll find plenty of resources in our Money Toolkit here.
And there’s more to come! We’re working on exciting updates behind the scenes and will be announcing new features later this year.
5. Keeping our values at the heart of everything
The Money Co-op isn’t just about money—it’s about people and community. As we grow, we’re staying true to our co-operative values—and what better time to highlight this than The International Year of Co-operatives?
📅 Co-ops Fortnight is coming up in June, and we’ll be celebrating all the ways co-operatives make a difference. Keep an eye out for ways to get involved!
We’re just getting started!
Thank you for being part of The Money Co-op—we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Whether you’re saving, borrowing, or just following along, we’re here to help you feel money-positive every step of the way.
