Commsave appoints new CEO

Commsave Credit Union has appointed Matt Goulding as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Goulding brings more than 17 years of experience in the credit union sector, having led two financial co-operatives through significant periods of growth.

Commsave has recorded  one of its strongest periods of new membership growth in recent years – with over 4,000 new members joining between January and August 2025 alone. Commsave currently supports over 39,000 members across the country, offering safe savings, affordable, responsible credit and financial education. In the last few years the credit union has awarded more than £120,000 in grants to UK charities and good causes through the Commsave Community Fund.

Richard Munro, who has served as interim CEO said “We’re delighted to have Matt on board at such an exciting time for Commsave. The organisation has built an outstanding reputation for delivering ethical, member-focused financial services, and its continued growth reflects how trusted we are within the communities we serve.

“Commsave’s commitment to supporting members, investing in staff development, and giving back through its Community Fund really sets it apart. With Matt’s leadership, I am confident we will see even greater innovation and impact, helping more people achieve financial wellbeing.”

Dean Keith, Chair of Commsave’s board of directors, said “The board are absolutely delighted that Matt has been appointed as our new CEO. His proven track record of delivering transformational growth in the credit union sector, combined with his clear vision for purposeful expansion, makes him the ideal leader to take Commsave forward. Matt’s commitment to putting members first aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re confident he will build on our strong foundations to help even more people achieve financial wellbeing.”
