The ACE Factor: What Makes Us Different

Driven by Credit Unions, For Credit Unions- Regulated by the FCA

We’re grassroots-led. Non-Profit. That means you set the agenda—not corporate interests. Our members shape our direction, ensuring ACE represents your voice at every level.


Human Support—Not Bureaucracy

When you contact ACE, you speak to someone who knows your credit union. No scripts. Just responsive, knowledgeable support from people who understand your challenges.


Ethical Growth, Not Just Services

We support ethical finance and believe in the power of credit unions to drive community change. ACE helps you grow in ways that are values-led, sustainable, and socially responsible.


Affordable by Design

Our capped membership pricing ensures access to expert guidance for credit unions of all sizes. You’ll never be priced out of support that matters.


More Than Advice—Real Partnership

Strong governance is the foundation of strong credit unions. We don’t just consult; we work alongside you to build resilient, well-governed, community-rooted organisations.

We support boards, managers, and volunteers with:

  • Customized governance frameworks

  • Board development & succession planning

  • Practical risk and compliance tools

  • Strategic insight tailored to your reality

  • Plain-English FCA interpretation

  • Advocacy for financial inclusion
