Become a Director of Smart Money Cymru

Join Smart Money Cymru as a Volunteer Director and help shape community banking in Wales!

Here at Smart Money Cymru Community Bank we believe financial services should be fair and accessible. We have been around for over 30 years and have helped thousands of members become more financially resilient. As a community owned organisation, every decision is made to support those living and working in Wales and our communities.

Smart Money Cymru is looking for new people to join our dynamic Board of Directors. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a thriving community led finance organisation that puts its members before profits. If you are someone who is passionate about making a difference and you have skills in any of these areas:

• strategic planning
• finance/accounting
• risk management
• legal
• marketing
• governance

and want to make a meaningful impact in your community, then we want you on our Board of Directors.

Our Directors:

• Contribute to the development of strategic vision
• Maintain and oversee high standards, strong governance and financial oversight
• Represent their community and advocate for the interests of all members
• Bring a wealth of experience, commitment and willingness to get involved

Volunteering with Smart Money Cymru provides you with experience of Directorship of a financial organisation, an opportunity to work alongside professionals who share the same values as you and a chance to change the future of community banking in Wales.

We welcome applications from people of all ages and abilities-we want our Board to reflect the people we serve. Previous Director experience is a plus but not required as your skills, passion and experience are what we are looking for as we offer guidance and training to our new Directors. Directors are expected to attend monthly board meetings (usually online) that last a maximum of 1-2 hours and once established in the role, they are encouraged to get involved in a subcommittee. There may be occasional in person meetings and events too. This role is an unpaid position, but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
