The ICBA Chairman Lucas White with an excellent article in ICBA #IBMAG on leadership: “Community banking is more than just a job; it is a way of life. When we step up, we are advocating not for what we have today but for what it will transform into, and ways to preserve the industry for the future. And in that essential work, we can’t take no for an answer.” https://lnkd.in/gwTiDyBu

It's a busy time for the Responsible Finance team. After the Fair Banking Act event yesterday in Parliament we've been to Millbank this morning. Discussing the Financial Inclusion Strategy, with Chris Pond (Chair), Baronness Claire Tyler and the Financial Inclusion Commission. The Financial Inclusion Commission shared new research from the CHASM - Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management (CHASM) at the University of Birmingham, supported by Mastercard. We know that affordable credit is an essential facility which many people and small businesses are denied. Our policy asks for government included: ✔️ A Fair Banking Act. ✔️ Improvements to the bank referral process so individuals and businesses declined by banks can be directly referred to CDFIs. ✔️ Expansion of credit broking exemptions so individuals in need can be referred to support and rerouted away from illegal and high-cost alternatives. You can read our full policy asks in our impact report: https://lnkd.in/eWSFydQ2 Let's keep working together to create financial inclusion. #FinancialInclusion #CDFIs #ResponsibleFinance

Multistate Cooperative Credit Societies (MCCSs) play a significant role in supporting people across the nation, particularly in light of changes within the financial service industry. Here are several ways they contribute: 1. **Access to Credit**: MCCSs provide access to affordable credit for members, especially those in rural and underserved areas. This is crucial as traditional banking institutions may not reach these regions effectively. 2. **Financial Inclusion**: They enhance financial inclusion by offering banking services to individuals who might not otherwise have access to formal banking. This includes savings accounts, fixed deposits, and various loan products. 3. **Member-Centric Services**: MCCSs operate on a cooperative model where members are also owners. This ensures that services are tailored to the needs of members rather than prioritizing profits. 4. **Empowerment of Small Businesses and Farmers**: They support small businesses and farmers by providing necessary credit for operational and expansion purposes. This can include crop loans, equipment financing, and working capital. 5. **Community Development**: Profits generated by MCCSs are often reinvested in the community. This can include funding local infrastructure projects, educational programs, and health initiatives, thereby improving the overall quality of life. 6. **Adaptation to Technological Changes**: Many MCCSs are adopting digital technologies to streamline their operations and provide better services. This includes mobile banking, online account management, and digital payment options, making financial services more accessible. 7. **Financial Education**: They often engage in financial literacy programs to educate their members about sound financial practices, the benefits of savings, and responsible borrowing. 8. **Cushion Against Economic Shocks**: During economic downturns or personal financial crises, MCCSs can provide a safety net through emergency loans and other support services. By integrating these functions, Multistate Cooperative Credit Societies help bridge the gap between traditional banking services and the financial needs of diverse populations, fostering economic stability and growth.
