Our Story
Naomh Brendan Credit Union Ltd is a financial co-operative owned and controlled by its members. It was set up here in Loughrea in 1966 to provide credit to the people living in the local community. At that time Ireland was experiencing a recession and unemployment was high. The majority of people were unable to gain credit from the local banks and many of them were forced to use moneylenders. Giving credit to these people would allow them to improve their standard of living and enrich the local community.
The credit union, today has reached close to 14,500 members and continues to grow at a fast pace.
NBCU believes in supporting the community and is involved in a range of local initiatives including Sustainable Energy West, providing assistance through the 'Building Communities Fund', promoting the Sustainable Development Goals and more.
