Advantages of Credit Union Borrowing
Hassle-free Application
Easy and swift application process.
Fair Loan Approval Process
Your loan application will be dealt with personally and strictly on its own merits.
Tailored Repayments
Your repayments will be tailored to meet your own personal circumstances.
Free Insurance
Your loan will be insured at no direct cost to yourself - check with the office for details of terms and conditions
Decreasing Repayment Interest
The interest rate you pay will be reasonable and interest will be payable only on the reducing balance of the loan.
Favourable Car Loan
With a credit union car loan, you own your car immediately rather than having to wait until last payment is made as with a hire-purchase loan.
Flexible Repayment Schedules
The repayment schedule can be adjusted to meet your own changing circumstances if necessary.

Loan Policy & Requirements
Members will be asked for proof of income and or bank statements, credit card statements and proof of address in order for their loan application to be processed.
All members over 18 years of age can apply for a loan after saving regularly for three months (12 weeks).
You may apply for an amount up to twice the value of your shares for your first loan. Four months must elapse between the date you draw down the first loan and apply for a second loan, which will be based on your record and ability to make regular repayments. There is no time restriction on further loans.
Members between the ages of 16 years and 18 years will need their Parent/Guardian to co-sign the agreement.
Loans within shares are paid out immediately on completing a Loan Application Form and presenting it at the counter.
Planning and Managing Repayments
Kilnamanagh Credit Union is flexible with regard to repayment plans. However, there are some legal limitations to length and amount of loans. Members will be advised on the best repayment plan to meet their own circumstances. Members are generally advised to repay a loan in as short a time as possible.
Should a member experience difficulties in meeting repayment commitments, he/she should immediately explain the situation to the credit union. Communication is the best policy. Your credit union will treat the matter sympathetically and in total confidence. Depending on the circumstances, the loan will be renegotiated if possible. Please be aware that it is the policy of our credit union to recover all amounts due, including interest and costs. We will resort to legal action, if necessary, to enforce a Credit Agreement.
