Credit Union Share Account
Credit Union Share Account
When you join us you become an owner of your Credit Union, and each €1 you save is one share. Funds from your Credit Union Share Account are then pooled together for loans in the community — sharing the wealth locally just makes sense.
You can also think of it as a ‘parent account’ that unlocks the whole range of CLCU accounts and benefits.
We also offer a Children’s Saving Account for Children aged between 7 and 15 years of age. Click here to find out more.

Benefits
Dividends
Dividends
You’re an owner as well as a member, and your success is our success. If we have a surplus, you’ll get paid a dividend on every single share.
Insurance
Insurance
Your savings are insured free of charge through our Life Benefit Insurance scheme. In the event of an eligible member’s death, a benefit is paid in proportion to their 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 someone to receive funds in the event of their death, without having to be part of the deceased’s estate. This saves time by avoiding the lengthy intestacy 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
