Intenrnational Credit Union Day - ‘Inspiring Hope for a Global Community' .

Celebrating International Credit Union Day in Nenagh

This Thursday, October 15th, Nenagh Credit Union will be joining members around the world to celebrate International Credit Union Day, an annual event to commemorate the credit union movement’s impact and achievements. This year’s theme is ‘Inspiring Hope for a Global Community’ and Nenagh Credit Union is joining Credit Unions around the world to celebrate!


This year’s theme reflects how Credit Unions around the globe have continued to provide a high level of service to their members and demonstrated a generosity to their local communities during the Covid-19 crisis that has set them apart from other financial institutions. We are truly inspiring hope for a global Credit Union community. It is also a chance to be thankful for the lives and communities that have been improved by the Credit Union movement.


In Ireland, credit unions are more important and relevant than ever. There are now 3.6 million Credit Union members on the island of Ireland with one in two people living on the island having a Credit Union account.
Credit unions are ethical, not-for-profit lenders that continue to provide effective and viable alternatives to financial institutions which operate for profit. Credit Unions genuinely care about their members, and put them at the heart of everything they do. Credit unions in the Rep. of Ireland earned the number one spot for the best customer experience in Ireland for the fifth consecutive year last year. The news was announced at the official CX Awards ceremony on October 8th, 2019. The achievement was a world first, with no other organisation across the globe claiming the top spot for five years running.
