Supporters can look forward to seeing the Capital Credit Union branding on the trackside LED boards and big screens for this weekend’s game against Rangers.
Alongside agreeing a deal with the Club, Capital Credit Union will also work with the Hibernian Community Foundation to support the education of young people through this academic year.
Capital is one of the largest and most established credit unions in the UK with over 25,000 members and assets of £45m. It provides ethical financial services to members across East Central Scotland and already has existing partnerships with over 80 employers and organisations.
It is a multiple award-winning, community owned and member-led organisation that puts people before profits and was last year voted Best Credit Union (North) in the UK's Consumer Credit Awards.
Marlene Shiels, Chief Executive of Capital Credit Union, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be one of the club's official shirt sponsors and to forge important links with Hibs Community Foundation. Like Hibs, Capital Credit Union is an integral part of the local Edinburgh community, and we share common values.
"Our aim is to help our members build financial resilience and to provide access to ethical financial products, to encourage a savings culture and to offer access to sensible borrowing. Given the current cost of living crisis, it has never been more important for people to make the right financial choices with providers they can trust.
"We look forward to building a strong relationship with the club and its supporters.”
Murray Milligen, Commercial Manager at Hibernian FC commented: “I’m delighted to be working in partnership this season with Capital Credit Union, a local company who share the club’s values and community here in Leith and in Edinburgh.
"Having a partnership with Capital Credit Union will not only provide real financial benefits to our players and staff, but also to our Community Foundation and our fan base.”
Lewis Melee, Chief Executive of the Hibernian Community Foundation, added:
“It was evident that Hibernian Community Foundation and Capital Credit Union share a passion for delivery within the community and increasing young people’s knowledge around topics that are present in everyday life, such as saving.
“Hibernian Community Foundation have successfully delivered alternative curriculum activities surrounding important topics such as alcohol awareness and reducing carbon footprint through the attraction point of Hibernian FC, and this partnership will create a new delivery opportunity for schools to engage in."
