Our members have spoken and we’ve been shortlisted
We’re incredibly proud to announce that Acorn Community Bank has been shortlisted for four Consumer Credit Awards 2026 categories
We’re in the running for the following 4 awards:
- Credit Union of the Year
- Best Credit Union (South)
- Best Credit Union Loan provider
- Best Credit Union Savings provider
Reaching the finals is a huge achievement, but what makes this truly special is that we have made it here by our member feedback and reviews. This achievement belongs to every member who has trusted us with their savings, turned to us for support when they needed a loan, recommended us to family and friends, and taken the time to share their experience. Quite simply we wouldn’t be here without you and for that, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.
Why this means so much to us?
At Acorn, our purpose has always been simple; helping people build stronger financial futures through ethical savings, affordable loans and community focused financial support. Unlike many industry awards, the Consumer Credit Awards are based on genuine customer experiences. They recognise organisations that consistently deliver outstanding service and support.
Being shortlisted is a reflection of the relationships we’ve built together and the trust our members place in us every day. As member-owned organisation, success isn’t measured by profits or shareholder. Success is measured by the positive impact we have on the lives of people we serve.
We still need your help to bring the WIN home?
The competition now enters it’s final stage, and voting remains open until 14th July 2026. Every review submitted during this period contributes towards the final result. If you’ve ever saved with Acorn, taken out a loan, spoken to our team or benefited from being a member, we’d love to hear from you. Vote for Acorn community bank today and help us bring these awards home!
