Responsible Finance board member Tim Rooney is part of a new sub-committee examining how to improve access to affordable credit as part of the Government’s commitment to develop a Financial Inclusion Strategy.
Rooney, CEO of our member Salad Money, attended the first meeting of the new “Access to Credit Sub-Committee” this month.
It is chaired by Kate Pender, CEO of Fair4All Finance. Members include representatives of consumer groups, money and debt charities and financial institutions.
Tim Rooney said, “Developing a credit market that works for all customers is crucial for financial inclusion. I’m delighted to represent Responsible Finance’s personal-lending members and Salad on the committee, and look forward to sharing our experiences supporting consumers who have historically been underserved. Committee members are highly engaged and there is a great deal of work to do.”
