A Credit Union is a financial services co-operative. They encourage financial inclusion and promote financial well-being to members of their communities by offering fair access to savings and low-cost loans. Credit Union’s differ from banks, in that they exist only to serve members – not to profit from their need.
As not-for-profit financial institutions, Credit Unions are the ethical choice. Members savings and income generated are used to fund loans to other credit-worthy members within the community for productive purposes. The Credit Unions also promote social, cultural and education activities in the local community by providing financial assistance to local groups and clubs where possible.
As well as contributing to the financial well-being of our members through savings and loans, Affinity Credit Union also supports a huge range of community organisations and events.
We aim to make our community a better place by supporting good causes that seek our help. These range from local charities, schools, sport clubs, youth groups and tidy towns. This is all part of our not-for-profit ethos. We return money to our members by supporting the causes that are important to them.
We have offices in Ballymahon, Co. Longford, Cashel, Co. Tipperary, Limerick City and Monaleen, Co. Limerick. Affinity Credit Union can offer our services to people living, working or studying within these areas.
