Started in 1990, Shared Interest is a co-operative lending society that has some 8,000 members. Monies invested by savers are used to facilitate fair trade all over the world.
Shared Interest is a member of IFAT, the International Fair Trade Association.
Shared Interest works with fair trade producers and buyers. They use the pooled members' savings to provide credit to enable producers to be paid to advance and to facilitate fair trade.
Your money is an investment, not a donation. They aim to pay an agreed return on your investment and allow you to withdraw your money when you need it.
Becoming a member of Shared Interest is easy. Anyone over the age of 16 and living in the UK can apply to become a member of Shared Interest. The minimum investment is £100 and the maximum £20,000.
