Save With Your Credit Union
Whether you’re saving for something in the future or just for a ‘rainy day’, regular saving is a good idea. Regular saving with your credit union is an even better idea.
Benefits of Saving With Us
At your credit union, you’re not just a customer. You’re a member of a successful, member-owned financial co-operative.
Our Savings Policy
It is not about how much you save but about regularly developing the habit of saving. So that by keeping the habit going over time, your savings can add up to quite a lot. You can even start small by saving loose coins in your pocket and change in your purse. Every cent helps.
Savings in your Credit Union are called Shares. Each share you hold is equal to €1. To be a member, you must have a minimum of €6.35 in your Shares (Savings).
The maximum funds guaranteed under the Governments Deposit Guarantee Scheme is €100,000 per member. Under Access Credit Unions' policy, the maximum a member can have in shares is €30,000.
