# Testimonials

> The Scottish Government has recognized the benefits credit union membership can bring to people of all walks of life and all income levels. We ask more employers to promote credit union membership to their staff, and facilitate easy saving and loan repayments through payroll deduction. The sharp rise in people joining credit unions is encouraging, as is the increasing number of private and public businesses. We are also working hard to raise the profile of credit unions, which provide ethical and affordable financial services for those who need them
