What is Black Friday?

October 30, 2025 12:15 pm Leave a Comment

Traditionally Black Friday is celebrated in America the day after Thanksgiving. This marks the start of the Christmas period. The popularity of Black Friday however has spread far and wide with many more of us enjoying the benefits that it brings.

What exactly is Black Friday?

Black Friday normally occurs at the end of November and its when retailers offer big discounts on a range of products. Electrical products usually have the biggest discounts, with many people going mad for a new TV’s or gaming console.

Most retailers take part in Black Friday and will offer some discounted sale items. Amazon usually kick their sale off at midnight, and other shops will open earlier for people to grab that bargain. Supermarkets also take part and will offer discounts on other things such as clothes and pet food.

Some hints and tips for Black Friday

To get the best possible deals on Black Friday just follow these tips:
1. Only buy items that you wanted originally. While the discounts on some things may seem like a bargain, you may end up spending more if you didn’t need them in the first place.

2. Shop around. So, you have found the thing you were looking for and great it’s on sale! However, don’t just jump in and buy it straight away. Do a quick Google search to make sure it’s worth the price. Some retailers will put prices up before Black Friday to make it seem like the sale is a good deal.

3. Register for an account before Black Friday. Having an account already created and logged into, will make bagging that bargain quicker and easier, so you won’t miss out.

4. Sign up for newsletters. Many companies offer discounts through their newsletters or give you early access to sales.

5. Be wary of brands you haven’t heard of before. Lots of the big offers on electrical goods tend to be on makes and models you may not be familiar with. While it may seem like a good offer, chances are the TV was only worth the sale price in the beginning.

6. Can you get a price match? If you have found something that seems like a good offer, but haven’t bought from that shop before, see if another shop will price match. Shops like Game and Curry’s have been known to offer a price match guarantee.

7. Don’t forget cashback sites. Free to sign up to, you can make money back just by shopping online.

8. Look at the price not the savings. It’s easy to be dazzled by the amount you are saving, but these offers are usually exaggerated.

Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, and it’s when online shops have their sales and offer bigger discounts. Cyber Monday usually only lasts for the day, but over the last few years they have lasted longer, giving you more time to bag a bargain.

Taking out one of our Christmas Loans will enable you to enjoy the festive season, certain that you can afford what you’re spending, and won’t be dealing with forbidding bills due for payment in January.

Celebrate UK Savings Week with Northern Community Bank

September 5, 2025 2:01 pm Leave a Comment

At Northern Community Bank, we believe in the power of saving to build financial resilience and peace of mind. That’s why we’re excited to support UK Savings Week, taking place from the 22nd – 28th of September 2025.

Whether you’re already saving regularly or just starting out, this is the perfect time to think about how saving can help you take control of your finances and reach your goals.

Why save?

Having savings set aside can provide a safety net for unexpected expenses. It can give you more confidence in your financial future, and help you achieve your dreams. Whether that’s planning a holiday, making some home improvements or buying that dream car.

It doesn’t matter how much or how little you can save, what’s important is getting into the habit. Every little bit adds up over time and having that cushion can reduce stress and provide security when you need it.

How Northern Community Bank can help

At Northern Community Bank, we offer a variety of savings accounts to help you make the most of your money. Our accounts are easy to manage, with no hidden fees or penalties, so you can save at your own pace. Your savings are also protected by the FSCS up to £120,000 – so they are safe and secure.

By saving with us, you’re not only securing your own financial future, you’re also supporting your local community. As a community bank we’re owned by our account holders. This means the money you save helps provide affordable loans to others in the community.

Tips to boost your savings

Here are a few simple tips to help you get started or give your savings a boost during UK Savings Week:

Set a goal: Whether it’s for a rainy-day fund, a specific purchase, or a future project, having a clear goal can motivate you to save.
Create a budget: Track your income and expenses, then set aside a small portion each week or month for savings.
Automate your savings: Set up a standing order or automatic transfer into your savings account so you don’t have to think about it. If your employer is part of our Payroll Plus Scheme, then you can have the money taken straight from your wage into a savings account of your choice.
Review your spending: Look for small ways to cut back on non-essential spending. Even a small reduction can free up more for savings.
Start small: Even if you can only save a little each week, it’s better than nothing. Over time, your savings will grow.

Join us for UK Savings Week

We encourage all our account holders to take part in UK Savings Week to see how you can improve your financial wellbeing. Whether you’re saving for a big goal or just looking for peace of mind, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Taking out a loan for a wedding might not be the first thing on your mind when your partner says, “I do”.

5 Stars for Northern Community Bank’s Christmas Savings Account

May 9, 2025 3:16 pm Leave a Comment

⭐ 96% of Account Holders rate Christmas Savings Account 5 stars ⭐

It’s official – Northern Community Bank’s Christmas Savings Account is helping hundreds of people enjoy a merrier festive season.

In fact, 96% of our account holders gave the account a glowing 5 out of 5 stars in our recent survey! Together, they saved an incredible £650,000 for Christmas 2024 – that’s a whopping 24% more than last year. What a brilliant achievement!

Our Christmas Savings Account is free to open and designed to help you put a little aside each week, with the peace of mind that it can’t be touched until November or December. That means no dipping in early – the money you save is there just in time for when you need it most.

We recently asked our account holders how they found the experience of using the Christmas Savings Account – and their answers made us smile.

A huge 90% of respondents told us they’d never had a Christmas savings account before joining Northern Community Bank, and 93% said they used to struggle to save for the festive season. But by putting away a small amount regularly throughout the year, they’ve been able to prepare for Christmas with confidence – and without the last-minute money worries.

Here at Northern Community Bank, we’re absolutely thrilled to see how much the account has helped our community. It shows how powerful saving little and often can really be.

Looking ahead to Christmas 2025? It’s not too late to start!

Saving just £3 a week from May could give you £90 by December – perfect for stocking fillers or your Christmas food shop.

Want to go a bit further? £10 a week adds up to £300 – that could cover gifts, food, or travel.

And if you can manage £15 a week, you’d have £450 saved by December – enough to cover the whole of Christmas!

May 8, 2025 11:51 am Leave a Comment

We are delighted to officially welcome the Mayor of Burnley, Councillor Shah Hussain, and his wife, Shewly Akhtar, as the newest account holders of Northern Community Bank.

Back in February, we had the pleasure of hosting the Mayor at our 43rd Annual General Meeting, where he gave an inspiring speech to attendees. During his address, the Mayor praised Northern Community Bank’s progress and the positive role we continue to play in the community:

“Your success is rooted in your commitment to progress and growth, providing ethical savings and affordable loans,” he told the audience.

“I have been impressed by the Community Bank’s recent modernisation, including the introduction of an app, an AI Assistant to help members, and a 98% of members saying they would recommend Northern Community Bank to their friends.”

He also took a moment to acknowledge some of our proudest community initiatives:

“I’m heartened to hear about the 12 lifesaving defibrillators that you’ve funded and installed across Lancashire and Cumbria. This initiative highlights this union’s commitment to the well-being of our community.”

Before concluding his speech, Councillor Hussain shared his intention to become an account holder of the Community Bank, saying:

“You are a valued member of our community, and I’ve made a commitment. I was speaking to my wife there – that I will become a member of Northern Community Bank after this.”

True to his word, Councillor Hussain and Mrs Akhtar visited our Burnley branch to open their Northern Community Bank accounts. We’re proud to now count them both among our growing membership.

On behalf of everyone at Northern Community Bank, we thank them for their kind words, support, and commitment. We’re delighted to welcome them both as new account holders. We look forward to their continued support as proud advocates of the credit union movement.

Northern Community Bank offers practical insight on compliance and ESG in new sector outlook

May 2, 2025 8:53 am Leave a Comment

Northern Community Bank (Northern Community Bank) has contributed grounded, operational insight to the newly released Community Bank Outlook Report 2025, a wide-ranging sector analysis produced by
Drova in collaboration with the Swoboda Research Centre.

Magda Niemczyk, Senior Compliance Manager at Northern Community Bank, is one of several sector leaders featured in the report, offering a clear-eyed view of the pressures Community Banks face in balancing compliance, resilience, and sustainability with limited resources. “Good governance frameworks already exist,” she notes. “The challenge is in applying them consistently, with the right support and confidence.”

Northern Community Bank’s contribution stands out for its practicality – advocating for proportionate ESG strategies that reflect the lived reality of members, rather than one-size-fits-all models borrowed from larger institutions.

Magda Niemczyk also addresses the complexity of third-party risk, urging Community Banks to take a more hands-on role in resilience planning, including real-world stress testing. The report is a timely resource for leaders across the movement – especially those working to strengthen oversight and sustainability without overextending already lean teams.

Celebrating Cady’s graduation from the CU Futures Programme

March 20, 2025 10:43 am Leave a Comment

At Northern Community Bank, we are so proud of our very own Cady Collinge, who has just graduated from the CU Futures programme! This 10-month course helps young Community Bank professionals develop their skills and confidence, preparing them to take on leadership roles in the sector.
The programme includes formal learning, personal and professional development, and hands-on experience. Participants gain an accredited qualification and receive training in networking, presentations, media skills, and industry engagement. Led by former Community Bank Foundation Chair and journalist Liz Barclay, the programme also includes visits to different Community Bank to see how they operate.

Cady admitted she was nervous when she first started. “Honestly – petrified. The idea of presenting my project to a panel of judges was incredibly nerve-wracking. I tried to talk myself out of it a few times!” But despite her fears, she took on the challenge and made the most of the experience.

Over the course of the programme, Cady learned a lot about Community Banks and how they work. “Community Banks focus on helping their members and communities instead of making profits,” she explained. “I now have a better understanding of the different services they offer, like savings accounts, loans, and financial education.”

As part of the CU Futures experience, Cady visited HSSCU in Ireland and met with Isaac from First Rate Community Bank. “First Rate Community Bank only serves BAE employees, which means they can create really specific financial products for them. HSSCU, on the other hand, has a much bigger membership, so they have a wider range of services to meet different needs.”

One of the highlights of the programme for Cady was working on a project with another participant. “My project partner had only been working in credit unions for a year. I was able to share my experience and knowledge with him. It was great to help someone else learn and grow.”
Now that she has graduated, Cady feels both relieved and excited. “It’s such a great feeling to have completed the course. I’m looking forward to using everything I’ve learned and taking on new challenges.” She believes CU Futures has given her skills that will benefit her career. “I have a fresh perspective on financial services. I’ve improved my skills in customer engagement, financial education, and strategic thinking.”

For anyone considering CU Futures, Cady has some simple advice:

“Just go for it! The confidence I’ve gained from presenting my ideas and sharing my experiences will help me take on leadership opportunities in the future.”

During the graduation ceremony, it was also announced that next year marks the 10th anniversary of the CU Futures programme. This is proof of how important it has been in shaping leaders in the Community Bank movement. We couldn’t agree more with what was said on the day. Cady and her fellow graduates aren’t just the future of Community Banks; they are the leaders of today.

A Bright Future Ahead

We’re so proud of Cady’s journey through CU Futures and can’t wait to see how she uses her new skills in our Community Bank. We know she will continue making a difference for our members and the wider Community Bank community.

Hit brakes on car finance loan stress – take Northern Community Bank for a test drive instead!

March 11, 2025 12:36 pm Leave a Comment

If you’re in the market for a car, there’s a good chance you’re also thinking about a car finance loan.
It’s the season for new cars after all, what with all those fresh March reg plates now on the road. And if your car has been struggling to get through winter or is facing an upcoming MOT or service, it might be the perfect time to upgrade.
Buying a new car should be one of the most exciting moments in your life, but it can also bring a lot of stress. From choosing the right model, taking test drives, and of course, figuring out how to pay for it.

If you’re considering a car finance loan, it’s important to step back and think carefully about whether it’s really the best option for you. You might have heard about the ‘Car Finance Scandal’ that came to light in 2019 – and has been in the headlines again recently – which exposed some pretty dodgy practices by dealerships and finance companies.
Many people ended up stuck with inflated car prices, hidden charges, and unaffordable loan terms. This made the car they thought they could afford far more expensive in the long run.
Although the Financial Conduct Authority has stepped in to make changes, the consequences of past deals still leave some people struggling financially today.
So, before you sign on the dotted line, it’s worth taking a moment to consider whether a car finance loan is the right choice for you.

5 reasons why Northern Community Bank leaves a car finance loan in the dust

You’ll own the car outright. With a Northern Community Bank car loan, you own the car from the start. No renting, no mileage limits, and no concerns about the car’s condition when you return it.
No hidden fees or commission. Unlike many big finance companies, Northern Community Bank doesn’t charge hidden fees or commission. The rate we quote is the rate you pay – every time. While car dealerships may advertise low “representative APRs” that apply to only 51% of applicants. Northern Community Bank offers transparent, consistent rates with no hidden costs.
Personalised service and guidance. Our team is dedicated to helping our account holders, offering a personalised service. We focus on providing guidance that’s tailored to your situation, so you can make the best decision for you.
Better for bad credit. At Northern Community Bank, we take a more flexible approach to credit scores. We’re more focused on affordability. This means we’re willing to lend to people with less-than-perfect credit, helping you get the car loan you need.
Community-focused and ethical. When you choose Northern Community Bank, you’re supporting a local, member-owned organisation that reinvests profits back into the community, rather than a large corporation focused on profit.

Speak to our team today

Going to buy a car can be a stressful experience, and arranging a car finance loan can add even more pressure. Between pushy sales staff and mounting stress, the whole process can start to become a little overwhelming.
With Northern Community Bank, the only pushiness you’ll experience is us helping you get the best deal – fair, straightforward, and stress-free.

Fast, fair and friendly – Northern Community Bank’s quick loans no credit check make borrowing simple

12:00 pm Leave a Comment

Whenever you’re looking for quick loans with no credit check, always try to look a little further.
We know, anyone in need of a quick loan isn’t exactly blessed with bags of free time. But taking a moment to research and compare options could make all the difference.
For example, let’s say your car breaks down unexpectedly, and you need a repair to get to work. A quick loan might help you cover the cost immediately. However, if you go with an unscrupulous payday lender, that repair could end up costing you a lot more in the long run.
‘Quick loan, no credit check’ deals may seem convenient on the surface but taking a few hours to compare lenders can ensure you’re getting the best deal and not paying more than you should.

Why should I be wary of quick loans with no credit check?

High interest rates. These loans often carry staggering interest rates – sometimes exceeding 300%. This means you could end up repaying far more than you originally borrowed, making them a costly choice.
Sneaky fees. Beyond the interest, some lenders include extra fees for things like getting the loan, paying late, or even just rolling it over. All of a sudden, what seemed like quick cash turns into a money pit.
Barely any time to pay it back. Many of these loans have extremely short repayment terms, sometimes just a couple of weeks. If you’re already struggling, paying it off that fast can be tough. You end up borrowing again just to cover it.
Easy to get stuck in a debt spiral. Because they’re so expensive and hard to repay quickly, people often take out another loan just to cover the first one. Before you know it, you’re stuck in a never-ending loop of debt.
Some lenders are less than trustworthy. Not all, but a lot of these lenders prey on people who are desperate, using sneaky terms and aggressive collection tactics to keep them trapped.
Won’t help your credit score. Since these loans don’t usually get reported to credit reference agencies, paying on time doesn’t help your credit. But miss a payment and it gets passed to debt recovery? Well, that could seriously harm your score.

What makes Northern Community Bank different?

Nothing means more than family, and our £500 Family Loan is designed to help you take care of yours by covering any unexpected costs with ease. It’s a scheme that allows you to spread repayments over an affordable period. For example; £12 per week over 50 weeks at 42.6% APR would mean a total interest of just £91.95.
More than that though, we help you build a stronger financial future by reporting repayments to credit reference agencies, which can improve your credit history over time.
We also support account holders in sticking to a savings or loan repayment schedule, making it more likely that we’ll be able to lend again if you need it. And with our ‘Save as You Borrow’ scheme, you’ll build up savings as you repay your loan, giving you a financial cushion for any future surprises.

Call our team today to learn more about our quick loan no credit check options that work for you.
