How do building societies win with brokers when intermediaries account for around 85% of all UK mortgages written, yet there’s 100+ lenders actively competing for their business? 

Guest event hosted by OneBanx Now in it’s 3rd Year, this is a free-to-attend event created exclusively for the mutual sector and facilitated by OneBanx, a Glory Global solutions company. The event brings together Building Societies and Credit Unions from across the UK and Ireland for a day focused on a theme of innovation and how embracing the latest technologies can help the mutual sector to thrive in a new era, as the providers of Key Financial Services to their communities. Mutuals have long been built on trust, a consistent and personal approach, local connection and an ability to maintain long-term relationships through fair rates and prices. But in a digital-first world where AI and other technologies are evolving at pace, we now face unique pressures: a need to modernize without losing identity, grow and compete with purpose made digital businesses, and all whilst doing this effectively both in terms of cost and time. Who it's aimed at: Suitable for all key personnel responsible for creating, leading and delivering change within their organizations at strategic and tactical levels. The day will involve presentations and discussions from Societies, Credit Unions, and technology providers who are working closely to deliver innovation-led growth and enhanced operating models whilst maintaining the personal touch. We have member organizations from across the UK plus the Financial Conduct Authority, Building Societies Association, Open Banking Limited, OneBanx, Microsoft, Consectus, docStribute, ACF Technologies, Whitecap Consulting and more.

A free webinar hosted by BSA Associate, Parliament Hill   Credit unions are entering a pivotal moment. Members want more support with everyday costs, younger generations expect seamless digital experiences, and traditional products alone are no longer enough to sustain loyalty. To remain relevant in 2026, credit unions must demonstrate daily, practical value that feels personal, accessible, and meaningful.  In this live demo, Parliament Hill will showcase how a benefits-led approach can help credit unions deliver that value consistently throughout the year. You’ll see exactly how everyday savings, wellbeing support, and simple digital touchpoints can transform the member experience and strengthen long-term engagement.  During the session, attendees will discover how to:  Appeal to younger members with digital-first, lifestyle-relevant benefits  Provide existing members with ongoing support that helps them manage everyday costs  Reinforce the credit union’s position as a proactive partner in members’ financial and personal wellbeing  Use engagement insights and reporting to tailor communications and increase participation  This session will show how shifting the focus from one-off moments to continuous everyday value can redefine the credit union proposition and build deeper, more resilient member relationships in 2026 and beyond.  Joshua Defty, will be leading this live demo on how credit unions can use seasonal campaigns and digital tools to drive year-round engagement.

Open to NEDs from BSA Credit Union Members only
