Credit Union Difference - “not for profit”
- We are a strong, local financial partner of choice for anyone living, working or studying within our common bond (Dublin 15).
- We exists to help people, not to make a profit.
- It is an economic democracy with each member having equal ownership and one vote, regardless of how much a member may have in shares.
- There are no hidden fees or account charges unlike many of the for-profit financial institutions.
- Our goal is to serve all our members well, at every age and stage of their lives.
- We will be there for you during the good times as well as the more challenging ones.
- We support our community through sponsorship and donations.
- We do not issue shares or pay earnings to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to members in the form of a dividend (interest) or an interest rebate.
- We work to empower our members to achieve financial wellbeing & financial peace of mind.
