Core Credit Union Limited

Core Credit Union Limited is an Irish, member-owned cooperative formed through the amalgamation of several local credit unions in south Dublin and operates a branch network within its common bond area. It is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, and eligible deposits are covered by the Irish Deposit Guarantee Scheme up to €100,000 per person per institution. Membership is restricted to individuals who live, work, or study within the designated common bond, and standard proof of identity and address is required at account opening. The credit union provides savings accounts and a range of lending products, including personal, car, education, home-improvement, and secured loans, all subject to affordability assessments and documentation; rates, loan limits, and terms are set by the credit union and published in its lending schedule. Accounts can be managed in branch and through online and mobile services, with support for SEPA payments, standing orders, and direct debits. Fees and charges apply to certain services and are outlined in the credit union’s schedule of fees; interest rates and product terms can change and should be confirmed before applying. As a cooperative, any surplus may be returned to members through a dividend or interest on savings if declared, but this is not guaranteed. Branch locations, opening hours, complaints procedures, and audited financial statements are available on its website. Suitability depends on eligibility for membership, required documentation, service availability, and the comparative cost of credit and fees versus alternatives.
