We are introducing a brand new loan called “Pay My Bill”. We understand during these hard times that paying your monthly bills can be a bit dauting for some. So we’ve come up with a new product to help you along the way.

 

So what is a “Pay My Bill” loan?

• The loan amounts are starting at €100 up to €450 max
• The loan repayments are a minimum of €10 per week
• This is not a cash loan and you must provide us with the details of your bill provider as all cheques will be made payable to same. A copy of each bill will be required.
• You can pay as many bills as you like so long as the bill total does not exceed €450
• You must have a minimum of €20 in your share account to qualify for a “Pay My Bill” loan.
• You must also provide proof that you can make all your repayments (Proof of Income)
• You can apply for a “Pay My Bill” loan as often as you like, however terms & conditions apply and you must speak with someone on customer services about frequency of taking out a loan.
• If your bill is below the €100 threshold we will make the cheque out for the minimum amount of €100 and therefore put you in credit with your bill provider.
• All bills will be considered for payment.

Typical Example of a Pay My Bill repayment structure: Weekly repayment of €10.00 with APR of 10.23% based on a loan amount of €200 over a repayment period of 21 weeks. Total amount repayable €204.03. Total cost of credit €4.03. Loans available to members only.* 

We just introduced two new flexible savings schemes for our members. However they are only available for a limited time only, so if you have between €2,000 – €50,000 check Read the rest of this entry »

We’re making it easier for you to make payments into your share or loan accounts by offering you Laser facilities online.

Congratulations to all those who participated on Saturday the 14th in the Kilnamanagh Community Centre for the CU Got Talent Final.

While the rest of us were waiting for Jeward to take the stage, Sarah Obafemi from Clondalkin waited anxiously to perform her number in the final.

It was a fantastic show all around and the talent was bursting from all angles. Sarah’s performance was outstanding, and  the judging panel had a very difficult job but there could only be one winner.

Kelly Hannon  representing Tallaght West CU blew  socks off singing her rendition of “Hallelujah” and rightfully took 1st place. 2nd runner up was Sheryl Harding representing Palmerstown CU, and finally 3rd place went to the amazing Little but Large (hip-hop) Dance Crew representing Ballyfermot CU.

Once again congrats to all those who took part and we look forward to 2012.

Finally a huge thank you to our volunteers on the youth committee who were so involved in this years competition, Orla Graham, Sheila Barr and Tricia Casey. Thanks a million for all your hard work!!!

Are you between the ages of 12 and 19 years of age, and living in the Clondalkin Credit Union’s common bond area? If so and you feel you’ve got talent we want to hear from you…

This is a competition and is open to all types of talent. 

All entrants must provide their own backing tracks/music for all performances.

The winner from the local credit union level will go forward to represent that credit union at chapter level (the final) on Saturday May 14th 2011.
