Black Country Payroll Savings- by TCTogether

Black Country workers urged to save with credit unions as new payroll campaign launches

A new campaign has been launched to improve the financial health and resilience of employees across the Black Country and encourage workforce savings through credit unions.

The campaign, called #PaydayYourWay, aims to encourage staff to save regularly, help them manage their money and keep them out of the clutches of loan sharks.

The partnership involves the England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT), Black Country Chamber of Commerce, and Just Finance Black Country, along with four local credit unions (Wolverhampton City Credit Union, Walsave, Castle & Crystal and 6 Towns), working together to promote savings through payroll deduction.

For information on how to become a member of your local credit union, speak to your employer or visit www.findyourcreditunion.co.uk.
