Testimonials

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

I was delighted to receive an education loan from my local Credit Union in Loughrea for my final year of my degree. The staff members were very helpful and I could sense that they truly wanted to help me out. I used the loan to pay for rent and daily needs. Based off this experience, I would recommend anyone to try for a loan with their local Credit Union too. They are reasonable and aware of the struggles students face in modern times. I am very grateful for their support - Jack.

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 recently borrowed money from Naomh Brendan Credit Union to fund my Master's in Education at Hibernia College, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The process was straightforward and stress-free, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure I understood every step. Their flexibility and support made it convenient to manage my finances while pursuing my studies, allowing me to focus on my education without worrying about financial strain. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive lending option - Linda Porter.

I’m very grateful to have gotten a student loan through the credit union. Knowing that I am sorted financially has been a real relief. Their repayment plans are very flexible and the staff are so supportive also - Sarah.
