We are bringing face-to-face, ethical financial support back to the high street. Opening this April on Hannah Street, Porth, our first-ever branch is more than just a building - it’s a hub for sustainable mortgages, ethical savings, and local connection.

A new community hub for Porth and the Rhondda Valley
Inside our Hannah Street branch, we’re creating more than just a place for financial services. We are building a shared space dedicated to the wellbeing and growth of the Porth community.
