Help Local People
Help Local People
When you save with us your money helps the local community. For example, your savings deposit may help a family get their first mortgage or redecorate a room for a new baby, or help a neighbour open their dream business.

There’s no catch with us — you won’t pay set-up, maintenance or transaction fees on our Share Accounts. We also offer free, secure 24/7 online and mobile banking, and free bill payments. Let’s put it simply — you can save more for less.
Dividends
Dividends
If we have a surplus income we return this reward to members in dividends that are directly proportional to their savings. Join us and see how your savings can work even harder for you.
Insurance
Insurance
Our Life Benefit Insurance scheme offers peace of mind by guaranteeing your savings are fully insured, free of charge. If an eligible member dies, we will pay out an insurance benefit in proportion to the deceased member’s closing savings balance, (up to a limit of €23,000). See our Life Benefit Insurance section for more details.
Nomination
Nomination
Eligible members can nominate a person to receive funds in the event of their death, without having to be part of the deceased’s estate, removing a lengthy legal process if a member dies without leaving a will. Eligible members can transfer property (e.g. savings, insurance benefits) to a nominated person, up to a limit of €23,000.
