Celebrating ten years of Joining Forces: building financial resilience

Celebrating ten-years of Joining Forces: building financial resilience

A decade of partnership between three leading credit unions has helped thousands of Defence people save, borrow responsibly and build financial resilience.

On Monday 19 January, at the Palace of Westminster, guests celebrated the tenth anniversary of Joining Forces – a collaboration consisting of Serve & Protect, First Defence Finance, and Forces Finance (part of London Mutual Credit Union), working with the MOD to offer tailored financial services for Defence people.

The anniversary reception brought together staff and directors from the credit unions, uniformed and civilian Defence personnel, and representatives from trade bodies, armed forces charities and financial organisations.

Credit unions differ from traditional banks. They operate as not-for-profit financial cooperatives, owned and run for their members’ benefit. Any surplus is returned to members through competitive dividend rates on savings or used to help improve the range of products and services available, rather than being distributed to external shareholders.
