About Comuno
Comuno helps people across the UK discover ethical, community-focused financial services that put members first.
Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves access to fair, transparent financial services. Credit unions, CDFIs, and community finance organisations offer a genuine alternative to high-cost lenders and impersonal high street banks, but finding them can be difficult.
Comuno makes community finance findable. We connect people with organisations that serve their local area, helping them access ethical lending, affordable savings, and financial support tailored to their circumstances.

Community Finance in the UK
Credit unions and CDFIs serve millions of people across the UK, offering savings, loans, and financial education. These organisations are member-owned or community-focused, operating on ethical principles rather than profit maximisation.
Unlike mainstream lenders, community finance organisations assess applications individually, considering your circumstances rather than relying solely on credit scores. They offer significantly lower interest rates than many high-cost lenders and prioritize responsible lending that supports long-term financial wellbeing.
