Company Profile
ACE Credit Union Services is a national credit union support organisation which has been in operation for ten years. About 45 credit unions based in England, Scotland, Wales and Jersey are currently affiliated to ACE. We hold an annual conference and AGM in different parts of the country so that all our credit unions can attend.
ACE is run by its board of trustees and has two associate trainers and an admin officer. All the board and trainers have lengthy direct experience of running of credit unions. Credit unions can contact us by telephone or email - see 'Contact Us'.
ACE is a member of number of organisations, for example, the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition and Debt on our Doorstep, which support the work of credit unions and their role in local communities.
Credit unions, or groups working towards starting up a new credit union, can affiliate to ACE and receive a wide range of services, which are listed in 'Our Services'. We work at grassroots level and our advice, support and training is based on our extensive 'hands on' experience of running credit unions and recognition of the importance of local needs and circumstances when helping credit unions develop.
While credit unions are businesses and must operate in accordance with sound business practices, they are also social and mutual organisations, which take into account their members’ needs, particularly those who are financially excluded.
