Is banking changing because customers demand & communities need it, or because banks priority is their shareholders? Banking can change & evolve whilst still meeting the core needs of customers. North West Mutual will be a leader in restoring banking that people can be proud of.

SME lending by postcode for the first half of 2022 shows a 37% reduction in lending for NI SMEs - that's £2.2 billion of local wealth that was taken out of our economy. More than ever we need our own bank.
Delighted to see that North West Mutual were named in the Levelling Up White Paper as a positive example of how a region builds a better future
In April, May & June notes withdrawn from ATMs & Post Offices was up a whopping 26% on last year to almost £30 billion. At North West Mutual we’ll be a bank to keep it safe, keep it available and keep it flowing in our region.

Cash Machines are More Popular than Twitter !!!
Twitter has around 16m UK users. Last week alone there were over 30 million transaction at UK cash machines. Shame the banks are closing them. Time for a different sort of bank.
Small & Medium sized businesses employ more people and generate more turnover than large ones but 86% of all the credit the financial markets give to companies goes to the large ones. The North West needs a bank to support our local job creators.
