Union's financial planning business

Fiducian (ASX: FID) is pleased to announce that Completion has occurred in the acquisition of the financial planning business of People's Choice Credit Union (PCCU), as announced on 3 November 2021.

Fiducian Financial Services (FFS), financial planning subsidiary of Fiducian Group Limited (Fiducian) was selected by the People's Choice Credit Union (PCCU) of South Australia as the successful bidder to acquire PCCU's financial planning business, which provides financial advice to its 390,000+ members.
