Armed Forces: Credit Unions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to increase awareness of credit union services among the armed forces community.
Answered by Mr Calvin Bailey
Joining Forces Credit Union Services (JFCU) is a Ministry of Defence (MOD) backed initiative that provides the Armed Forces community with ethical, not-for-profit financial services. The Credit Unions that form the JFCU run financial resilience sessions online which are promoted by Service welfare teams.
Information on the JFCU is contained on the Discover My Benefits portal (https://discovermybenefits-dev.mod.gov.uk/army/service-benefits/joining-forces-credit-unions/) and is also published on Gov.uk (https://www.gov.uk/veteran-support-organisations/joining-forces-credit-union-services). In addition, Defence Communications run promotional articles on the MOD’s intranet highlighting the benefits provided by the JFCU.
