Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Join North West Credit Union

In times of change, having a financial partner you can trust makes all the difference. At North West Credit Union, we’ve always been about people helping people; today, that mission is stronger than ever. With competitive services, a growing range of digital options, and a continued commitment to our local community, now is the best time to join your Credit Union.

A Financial Partner That Puts You First

Unlike banks, North West Credit Union exists solely for the benefit of its members. When you join, you’re not just opening an account; you’re becoming part of a community-owned organisation that reinvests locally and makes decisions with your best interests in mind. In 2025, we supported 38 organisations through our dedicated Community Fund.

Whether you’re saving for the future, planning a big purchase, or navigating the rising Irish living costs, our team is here to offer fair, transparent, and ethical financial support.

Services Designed Around Real Life

We understand that everyone’s financial journey is different. That’s why North West Credit Union offers a wide range of services tailored to your needs, including:

  • Savings Accounts: Safe, secure, and flexible savings options for every stage of life. The overall savings limit is €35,000.
  • Affordable Loans: Personal loans with competitive rates and clear repayment terms. We offer competitive loans for everything you need, whether that’s a new car or dream holiday.
  • Current Accounts: We offer a low-cost Current Account. Additionally, we also offer a FREE current account for 12-16 year olds.
  • Insurance & Protection Products: Peace of mind for you and your family. Did you know that our Loan Protection Insurance is FREE and unique to credit unions?

Our approach is simple: fair lending, clear advice, and no hidden surprises.

Banking That Fits Your Lifestyle – Going Digital

We know life is busy, and managing your money should be easy. That’s why North West Credit Union continues to invest in digital services that give you greater control, wherever you are.

With our digital offering, members can enjoy:

  • Online and Mobile Banking – Access your accounts anytime, anywhere
  • Balance Checks & Transfers – Manage your money with just a few taps
  • Loan and Current Account Applications Online – Apply quickly and securely from home
  • Digital Statements & Alerts – Stay informed and in control

You get the convenience of modern banking, backed by the reassurance of friendly, local support whenever you need it.

Rooted in the Community, Focused on the Future

While we continue to embrace digital innovation, our core values remain the same. North West Credit Union is proudly rooted in the local communities of Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon, strengthened by our 2025 merger with Boyle and Keadue, and we remain committed to supporting local initiatives, events, and families across the region, including our Sponsorship and Community Fund initiatives.

By joining, you’re helping to strengthen the local economy while benefiting from a financial institution that truly cares.
