We've been working with @FairByDesign to support the campaign for Fairer Banking for All - brilliant work from @FBfACampaign and those with direct experience highlighting the impact or financial exclusion, and the solutions!
“My children are quite aware of my finances and how it’s affected me. They’ve seen how happy I was when I got the loan from the credit union. They were able to get a more happier mum when I was able to get more affordable credit.” #FairBankingForAll
👏👏👏 A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our #FairBankingForAll parliamentary roundtable with @APPGbanking @MoneyMatix @lendologycic @michaelsheen @Alpkit @fsb_policy @ABCULCUs @TheFinanceLab Find out more about the campaign here 👇 financeinnovationlab.org/our-work/grow/…
We've got a fantastic panel for Monday's parliamentary roundtable on the Fair Banking Act. We'll be hearing from speakers from @ABCULCUs @Alpkit @fsb_policy @lendologycic @MoneyMatix & @TheFinanceLab, as well as people with experience of financial exclusion. #FairBankingForAll
This is great news and something @FairByDesign have been calling for for some time. Regulation will put BNPL on a level playing field with other forms of debt and proper affordability checks will have to be undertaken. Must go alongside ⬆️ affordable credit though.
Millions of people use Buy-Now, Pay-Later to manage their finances - but protections are needed to stop people racking up unmanageable debt. I promised to take action before the election and now we are delivering on regulating the BNPL sector. gov.uk/government/new…
After meeting with us last week, it was excellent to see @AnnBremenda, newly elected MP for Caerfyrddin, raise the importance of a social tariff in #PMQs.
We know from our research that low-income consumers are disproportionately affected by higher car insurance premiums. Research conducted earlier this year with @PFRC_uk showed that the car insurance poverty premium can be over £500 each year.
Car insurance is an essential, not a luxury. But the rising cost of cover has hit drivers hard. Today I've launched a taskforce to give this the attention it deserves. We will root out the factors driving up costs to ensure drivers get a fair deal 🚗✅ mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
On Monday we'll be in Parliament with @APPGbanking @fsb_policy @lendologycic @TheFinanceLab @ABCULCUs @MoneyMatix @resp_finance @Alpkit & others, discussing how a Fair Banking Act could open up access to affordable credit for millions. #FairBankingForAll financeinnovationlab.org/our-work/grow/…

Our recommendations include: 📌 We are asking Ofgem to encourage energy suppliers to offer flexible payment methods and investigate / remove regulatory barriers (if any). 📌 Regulators should ensure that the benefits of VRPs are realised for consumers.
Great to work with the fab team at @PFRC_uk on this. And of course to hear directly from people on low incomes about what sort of payment methods would help them to pay for big bills like energy…

Looking forward to an interesting @_F_L_A Access to Credit symposium. Have just heard from @TulipSiddiq who has already been such an important flag bearer on this subject…#fairbydesign @FairByDesign
Our Chief Executive @adam_scorer joined @JeevunSandher, @SamJRushworth, @EndPovEdin, @mariacbooker and @SamEPRobinson at an event at Labour Conference. The focus of the session was how Labour can deliver affordable energy bills. Watch the session back. youtube.com/watch?v=KP3EYZ…
Thank you so much to @wagestream for a really inspiring day at @TheFWForum So heartening to meet so many employers who really want to secure the financial wellbeing of their employees! Takeaway of the day for me…
"I am one of many who fall into the growing gap between basic income and basic needs. The UK’s welfare system, once designed to provide a safety net, has failed..." Please share this fantastic #ChallengePoverty Week guest blog from Zahada Safdar. povertyalliance.org/guest-blog-the…
Very excited to be at the Financial Wellbeing Forum today and especially to hear from the film star himself!
I am just about to go on stage as the keynote speaker at The International Financial Wellbeing Forum ‘24 I am speaking to the country's largest employers who look after over 2.4 Million staff. This talk is all about treating staff fairly! #BankofDave

We can build a Scotland where everyone has a safe, warm, affordable home. Start #ChallengePoverty week with the first of our themed breakfast briefings, with @CitAdviceScot, @EildonHousing, and @shelterscotland povertyalliance.org/event/poverty-…
"If we are to tackle financial exclusion in a meaningful way, low-income people and consumers in vulnerable circumstances need to be at the heart of decision-making." @martin_coppack for @NewStatesman on @UKLabour's financial inclusion strategy. newstatesman.com/spotlight/2024…
As the energy price cap rises by 10%, this concerning new @resfoundation research aligns with our findings that current energy bill support won't be enough for those struggling most this winter, particularly people on low incomes with children citizensadvice.org.uk/policy/publica… (1/2)
📣 NEW research published today 📣 Around 7.7 million households are facing fuel stress this winter, including over half of families with children. These stark statistics illustrate how poorly targeted Winter Fuel Payments are, and why alternative support will be needed this…
"I can’t normally get a loan like this… and we don’t have any savings to fall back on. It’s been a real lifeline”. So proud of @FairByDesign's founding role in the No Interest Loan Scheme, which is helping to get rid of the credit poverty premium...
New blog by @mariacbooker for @Fair4AllFinance NILS has now provided £10M in affordable credit to financially vulnerable people, offering a vital lifeline and helping reduce the poverty premium. Learn how the scheme is helping people avoid illegal lenders and high-cost credit.
