Supporting our communities

Getting more involved in your local community

MTF Finance has been a proud and enthusiastic member of our local community for over 50 years, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Backing local businesses and communities does so much more than just help the economy. It builds connections, strengthens neighbourhoods, and makes our ‘team of 5 million’ just a little bit stronger.

If you’d like to be more involved in your community but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve asked our local lending experts for their top ideas. These small changes won’t have a big impact on your wallet, so there’s a way for everyone to make a difference.

Finance is filled to the brim with words that seem to be designed to make things unclear, instead of the opposite. We are here to untangle the jargon and make it easy for you to understand the ins and outs of consumer finance.
