Save With Your Credit Union
We all know the merits of saving money, either for something specific or for that “rainy day”. But saving money with Loughguile Credit Union Limited means you also become a member of a highly successful co-operative. You are not just another customer – you are a member.
Benefits of Credit Union savings
- Easy access to your money once it is not used as security against a loan
- No hidden charges or fees on any transactions
- Life savings insurance for eligible members (Terms & Conditions apply)
- Nomination of account proceeds
- Death Benefit Insurance
When you save with us you are also building a history which will be taken into account in the future should you wish to apply for a loan.
The money you save with us is used by the credit union to fund the loans it makes to members. By saving with us you are indirectly helping your neighbours and the community to develop.
When a member who is over 16 years of age opens a credit union account, he/she is entitled to nominate a person (or persons) to receive his/her property in the credit union on his/her death. Property includes shares, deposits and insurance proceeds. This is of benefit if the member dies without leaving a will as the property left in the credit union will not have to pass through the sometimes timely intestacy process.
The Savings Protection Scheme (SPS) owned and operated by the Irish League of Credit Unions is available to proactively intervene to protect members’ savings by making available financial assistance to help any credit union which may experience difficulties.

- The amount of shares you have saved (one share is equal to £1stg.)
- The surplus income available for distribution by your credit union to members.
You can withdraw your savings provided they are not pledged as security on a loan. However, you are encouraged to keep your savings intact, so that:
