Celebrating International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women around the world.
The theme for 2023, Embracing equity, means taking concrete steps to promote gender equality and support women’s empowerment.
Credit unions can play an important role in advancing these goals by providing women with access to affordable financial products and services, offering financial education and resources, supporting women-owned businesses, promoting diversity and inclusion, and giving back to the community.
Here is how M for Money Credit Union supports women:
Providing access to affordable financial products and services: M for Money Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperatives that prioritises the needs of our members over profits. We often offer lower interest rates on loans, higher interest rates on savings accounts, and other financial products and services that can help women manage their money effectively.
Offering financial education and resources: We can help women build financial literacy and confidence by providing educational information through our blog and newsletters. This information can help women learn about topics such as budgeting, investing and credit management.
Promoting diversity and inclusion: we create a welcoming and supportive environment for women by promoting diversity and inclusion. We have policies in place to promote gender equality and ensure that women have equal access to opportunities and resources.
We would like to wish all our members, Happy Women’s Day!
