FAQ

A Credit Union is financial cooperative, owned, and controlled by its members for its members.

Our credit union can help you achieve financial independence through regular savings and fair and affordable access to loans.

The common bond is that factor which unites all members of a credit union. It defines the area within which our credit union can operate.

Your savings with the credit union are called “Shares”. Each share you hold in your credit union is equal to €1. If the credit union has accrued a surplus at the end of the financial year it may declare a dividend. If so, you will get a return on each share you hold.

As the amount of shares builds up, the common fund of money grows. This in then available for providing loans to members. All members are encouraged to save regularly, even when repaying a loan. This gives the member several direct benefits, and ensures that there are funds for the credit union for use by all members.
