20th Anniversary!

We celebrated our 20th anniversary during the week beginning 24 June 2024 with a series of events, aimed at celebrating with members and raising the profile of the credit union.

Established in Glenrothes in 2004 to offer local people affordable and ethical banking services, the credit union has undergone a huge transformation over the past two decades, including opening new branches and pivoting to provide online services in response to the pandemic.

Kingdom Community Bank is now Fife's largest credit union with over 7,000 members and growing. It is a friendly, local, ethical alternative to mainstream banks and high-cost lenders, ensuring people who live and work in Fife have access to affordable credit and savings.

• In-branch celebrations
• Civic society leaders event
• Stop Loan Sharks Scotland Charter Mark
• Kingdom FM campaign
• Cash prizes for Members
• Donations to community groups

We hosted a celebration event in each of our branches - Methilhill on Monday 24 June, Glenrothes on Tuesday 25 June, and Dunfermline on Wednesday 26 June.



The celebrations included cupcakes, merchandise such as badges and water bottles, balloons, bunting, and a loan shark game, which all proved popular with members and passers-by.

At an event for Fife elected members and senior officials on Tuesday 25 June, we had speeches from Sofia Dogan, CEO of KCB, Tom Adams, Chairperson of KCB, and Cllr David Ross, Leader of Fife Council. Speakers and attendees were enthusiastic and supportive of Kingdom's mission and improving financial outcomes for the people of Fife and will help to point their constituents to Kingdom moving forward.

On Tuesday 25 June we were presented with a Stop Loan Sharks Scotland Charter Mark. Presented by John Pollock from the Stop Illegal Money Lending Unit, the charter sees organisations that sign up to it pledge to work with them to increase their reach within communities and to increase the confidence of residents to enable them to report illegal loan shark activity safely.
Did you hear our adverts on Kingdm FM? They ran every day for a week from Monday 24 June, sharing our key messages and encouraging people who live and work in Fife to join KCB.
