Smart Money Cymru Community Bank at EVI

When is it?

Every Monday

We’ve partnered with Smart Money Cymru Community Bank, a not-for-profit ethical financial organisation, to launch a community banking hub in your area offering savings accounts, loans, and general money advice. 

Our friendly volunteers and EVI team can help you take control of your finances in a smart way, by encouraging you to save what you can on a regular basis and borrow only what you can afford to repay.

Every Monday we’ll be here to answer your money questions, whether it be about our savings accounts and loans available or simply for general money advice, we’re here to help. If you are a resident in Wales, you can join our Community Bank.
So why not give us a visit?

 

We offer a range of savings accounts to suit you and your needs – such as General, Christmas & Junior accounts. You can also borrow money off us for many reasons, from Christmas spending, new car purchases / car repairs, school uniforms, to vet bills, funeral costs, holidays and debt consolidation (and more).

Pop in for a chat on Mondays and let’s see how we can help you! Find out about the many benefits of joining Smart Money Cymru by clicking here. No appointment needed.
