Alternatives to Traditional Banks: Why More People Are Choosing Credit Unions for Everyday Banking

Big banks aren’t working for everyone

With rising fees, branch closures and strict approval checks, many people are feeling pushed out of traditional banking. If you’ve ever been told “computer says no”, you’ll know the feeling.

That’s one reason thousands of people are turning to credit unions for a more human and inclusive alternative.

What makes credit union banking different?

Credit unions are not-for-profit and member-owned. That means decisions are made around people, not profit targets. We exist to support communities, not shareholders.

A Clockwise Current Account gives you:

  • An account without a credit check
  • A fair and transparent fee structure
  • Access to a supportive team
  • An account that’s suitable for benefits, wages and everyday spending

For many members, it’s also a route back into mainstream banking after being declined elsewhere.

A values-driven alternative for everyday life

Choosing a credit union isn’t just about avoiding big banks, it’s about choosing somewhere that understands real life. Whether you’re rebuilding your finances, managing benefits or simply want a second account for budgeting, a community-based option often fits better.

Bank differently. Bank locally. Bank fairly.

You don’t have to stick with the same old banking experience.

A Clockwise Current Account gives you everything you need day-to-day with the added reassurance that you’re part of something community-driven.
