Engage is a digital account and Visa Debit card that aims to provide 100% financial inclusion. Engage accounts are exclusive to Credit Unions and Community Banks, aiming to support the Credit Union movement, bringing real momentum to challenge the ‘big banks’ dominance, and provide a fairer, ethical service to anyone.
What is financial inclusion? Of course, financial inclusion is the opposite of exclusion.
Currently in the UK there are around 2 million adults that cannot get access to a bank account (2018). Financial exclusion hurts individuals, disrupts families and burdens society. It makes living on a low income more expensive, unstable and stressful than it otherwise would be, and acts as a barrier to personal development and economic progress.
For example, without a bank account, people cannot get the discounted prices that come from paying for gas and electricity by direct debit. Without insurance or savings, it can be impossible to recover from a flood or burglary. And debt problems can lead to mental health issues, family breakdown or homelessness.
Who is it for and how do I get an account?
Engage is an account for anyone, whether you struggle to get a bank account from one of the high street branches or you have several bank accounts already. Engage is here to give every community 100% access to banking facilities.
All you have to be is a member of your local Credit Union, which is even easier than applying for a high street bank account. To sign up for an Engage account, simply become a member of your local Credit Union. Take in two forms of ID to apply for the Engage account. The application process is quick and simple, as long as the Credit Union knows who you are then there should be no issues with getting an Engage account.
