flag Britain to boost access to low-cost loans by expanding credit union membership cap to 10 million.

flag Britain is overhauling credit union rules to expand access to affordable loans by raising the membership cap from three million to 10 million in designated areas, allowing larger growth and mergers. flag Credit unions, which offer low-interest loans (capped at 3% per month), will now include students, retirees, and relatives of members—even if they don’t live together—broadening their reach. flag The changes, part of a push for financial inclusion, aim to strengthen community-based finance and support those facing high-cost lending. flag The government plans to introduce legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows, with officials and credit union leaders welcoming the move as a key step toward fairer, more resilient financial services.
