Testimonials

Our member testimonials include some great and encouraging feedback from our members.

"The community involvement is just so good from you and your staff. There isn't an event, no matter how small in Loughrea, where there are not staff at hand helping out in some way. It is a credit to you, and maybe that is the Credit in your name is meant to symbolise. Tidy towns, Solar Meithal, and many more. I have never seen a member of the "pillar" banks get down and give a helping hand when needed. Well done to all"

Thank You to Naomh Breandain for giving me my education loan. I am most grateful for this as it allowed me to do a course that I couldn’t otherwise do. It was easy to get the loan and I am now making the repayments with my part-time job. If you are thinking of doing a course or an apprenticeship, I would highly recommend the credit union for a loan. Thank you - Lorraine.

"I am extremely happy with my Credit Union, it has always supported me when I needed it and it has always been there for my children as they went through college and first cars etc, I have always recommended this Credit Union to them above my bank of which I was staff for decades. I have always appreciated their support and will continue to do so into the future."

"Been a credit union member since college and used to borrow to get me through. proud to be a member. Love all the local work the credit does with the schools, community sponsorship, the green agenda, little giveaways..feels part of the community"
