Ballygall Credit Union Limited

Ballygall Credit Union Limited is a member-owned, community credit union in north Dublin operating under the Credit Union Act 1997 and supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland. Membership is limited to individuals and entities that meet its defined common-bond criteria, generally tied to residence, employment or association within the Ballygall area. Core services typically include share-based savings accounts and personal lending; any annual dividend on shares is discretionary and decided at the AGM, and loan interest is charged on a reducing-balance basis at published APRs, with approvals subject to affordability and underwriting. Some Irish credit unions also provide current accounts, debit cards and broader payment services via partnered providers, but availability, features and fees vary and must be confirmed directly. The credit union may apply savings caps, withdrawal notice periods or tiered limits depending on liquidity, and it is required to maintain regulatory reserves and publish audited financial statements to members. Eligible member savings are covered by the State’s Deposit Guarantee Scheme up to €100,000 per person per institution, and lending is reportable to the Central Credit Register. Opening hours, online access and service channels are set locally and can change; rates, charges, documentation requirements and eligibility criteria are published by the credit union and should be reviewed before opening an account or applying for a loan.
