What is a Credit Union AGM?

Unify is a financial co-operative that exists purely for the benefit of our members. We don’t have external shareholders that profit from what we do; every active member of the credit union is a shareholder so the people who profit are our members. The decisions we make, are made in order to meet the needs of our members and our community.

Our Annual General Meeting is a place for you to see how we are doing as a business and an opportunity for you to be involved in your Credit Union.

Do I get Interest on my Savings?

So unlike a bank account, when you join Unify, you join as a member, rather than a customer. This means that once we have paid for our bills and built up our reserves, every active member will get a share of our profits! This share of profits is called a ‘dividend’.

To qualify for the dividend you must have a minimum of £1 in your savings at the time of the AGM. The dividend is calculated on the money you held in your account during the previous financial year (1^st October 2017 – 30^th September 2018)

Why should I attend Unify’s Annual General Meeting?

• To stay up to date with what and how we are doing. You trust us with your savings, and we lend this money to the people in our community. This is the best chance to find out what we have done in our community over the last year, and how well we are doing as a business and the ways we are going to progress in the future.
• This is your opportunity to ask questions to our board about the company and raise any concerns.
• The proposed dividend will be announced and a vote is taken to agree upon the figure. You have the right to vote upon the amount of the share of profits you and the other members will receive.
• After the AGM, refreshments and some hot food will be provided and we encourage members to stay and take part in a fun quiz and speak with our staff, volunteers, supervisors and board members.

 

This is YOUR Credit Union, and YOUR say matters to us.

 

As the AGM is taking place during the day, our branches will close at the following times:

Leigh - 12:00PM
Ince - 12:30PM
Wigan - 1:00PM
Chorley - 1:30PM
All four branches will re-open at their usual time on Friday 15th March.
