Hear how Sarah found comfort and control with a Credit Union Personal Loan — and how you can too.
Sarah had just welcomed her second child. With growing toys, tiny shoes, and sleepless nights, her home suddenly felt too small for her expanding world.
She dreamed of creating a warm, safe space where her children could grow — a small extension, just enough to breathe. But the costs made her anxious.
Banks felt cold and distant. So she turned to her local credit union, unsure but hopeful. From the moment she walked in, she was treated like a neighbour — not a number.
The staff listened, truly listened. They crafted a repayment plan that wouldn’t stretch her too thin, and reassured her with loan protection insurance, just in case.
Now, every time Sarah watches her children play in the new space she built with love, she feels proud — and financially at peace.
Like Sarah, you deserve support that understands your life. With a Credit Union Personal Loan, you’re never just borrowing — you’re building something that matters.

The loan calculator is a free tool that helps you estimate your monthly repayments based on the amount you wish to borrow and the repayment term. It allows you to see the potential cost of borrowing before you apply, making it easier to plan your budget and choose a loan that suits your needs. Results are illustrative but give a helpful preview of what to expect with a Credit Union Personal Loan.
Protection insurance is a valuable benefit included with many personal loans. If the borrower passes away during the loan term, the insurance may clear the outstanding balance. It provides peace of mind and protects your family from unexpected financial burdens. This insurance is usually provided at no direct cost to the borrower and is one of the key differences between credit unions and traditional lenders.
Yes, having a credit card does not prevent you from applying for a credit union personal loan in Ireland. However, your overall financial situation will be considered, including existing debts. Credit unions assess affordability carefully to ensure you can manage repayments comfortably. In fact, some people use personal loans to consolidate or pay off higher-interest credit card debt more effectively.
For larger expenses, a Credit Union Personal Loan often offers lower interest rates than a credit card, especially over a longer term. This makes it a more cost-effective option for planned spending like home improvements or holidays. While credit cards are useful for short-term or emergency use, personal loans provide structured repayments and greater control over your finances.
