Plans for a Manx Credit Union will be unveiled at a Positive Action Group meeting on Monday.
The Manx Credit Union Working Party will present on the benefits of a community finance model, and explain how it differs from highstreet banking.
They will be joined by Dawn Vear - Operations Manager of UK Credit Unions Ltd.
