Oplo joins Money Advice Liaison Group

We’re excited to announce that Oplo is now a National Member of the Money Advice Liaison Group (MALG).

MALG is a not-for-profit UK membership group whose purpose is to galvanise organisations to work together to improve the lives of people with problem debt. We share in this purpose, and are delighted to lend our voice, experience, support and skills to work in partnership with MALG and other members from across the credit and debt landscape.

At Oplo, we are passionate about responsible lending and money management. We want everyone to know how to safely save, spend, budget and borrow in ways that will help them fulfil their true potential.

Bob Winnington, CEO of MALG, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Oplo into MALG Membership at such an important time for those in debt as a result of the pandemic. Creditors like Oplo are key stakeholders and our role is to open lines of communication between them, money advisers, policy-makers, and others to enable collaborative working for the mutual benefit of all. We look forward to welcoming representatives from Oplo to our upcoming events including our fortnightly virtual ‘Friday Forums’, and quarterly national and regional Members Meetings”.

Our membership of MALG will also enable us to play a powerful part in our home territory of the North West through its regional group.

Our work with MALG is the latest in a long line of initiatives we have put in place for us to drive positive change in the industry. We’re also launching our new Financial Education Programme, which is aimed at making sure the next generation has the financial knowledge they’ll need to make informed decisions about their money management.

This initiative kicks off right with our local community here in Blackpool. You can read more about this initiative here: https://www.myoplo.co.uk/blog/oplo-takes-financial-education-on-the-road
