Next week Andrew is a panellist on a LendIt Fintech webinar alongside some of Experian's experts discussing how to lend efficiently in a credit crisis.

Happy New Year from the team at Soar. While we might have started the year in lockdown, we think there's a lot to look forward to and we thought we'd share some of that with you.

Soar has completed a deal with Glasgow Credit Union to provide its members with the latest banking technology as it aims to compete more effectively with traditional players in the financial services sector.

On Saturday 9th April 2019, our CEO joined a panel at ABCUL's Annual AGM & Conference in Manchester. The plenary session, hosted by Liz Barclay, was all about fintech for credit unions.

More than half of consumers use their mobile device first for anything they require to do online. To get the attention of your members and potential members, it is important to have an online presence and be optimised for mobile usage.

Sometimes, we need to move out of our comfort zone to achieve the best results. Many in the credit union industry are looking to become more digitally aware and innovate with technology. This is promising for the sector, but all credit unions need to take notice and think about collectively evolving the movement.

There are so many options for every product and service we consume so we need to be sure that we’re doing everything we can to show people what we can do for them. To help, we have put together a list of some of the top reasons that people would want to join a credit union over a bank.

So, how you go about digitising your credit union? Making the decision to do this can be daunting and the first few steps are the most important. We’ve put together some advice to help you get started on your digital journey.

This week is a very special week for Soar - we’re attending the Scottish Financial Technology Awards as finalists in three categories!

Well, we said we’d keep you posted on how we got on at the Scottish Financial Technology Awards and we’re happy to report that we walked away with two awards! We’re delighted to be taking the awards for Rising Star and Social Impact back to our team in Glasgow.
