Community first

At Arches we put the customer at the heart of everything we do.

That’s why we’ve partnered with credit union Community First, who are able to offer alternative options for managing your finances.

They will be available every Wednesday afternoon from 12.45pm until 3.30pm at our offices to offer independent advice to the entire community on accounts, loans and finances.

You don’t have to be a tenant to drop in - but Arches will pay the administration charge for any tenant that opens a Budget Account with them.

Services you can access through Community First

• Budgeting accounts - to help manage payments, ensuring you don’t miss your rent or any critical bill payments.
