Why Save?
Saving money is a good idea. By putting a little aside on a regular basis you not only have something to look forward to, you also have something to fall back on, should the need arise.
Saving money with St. Anthony’s & Claddagh Credit Union is an even better idea. You are not ‘just another customer’, but an active member of a highly successful financial co-operative, which provides security and protection for your savings, along with an excellent dividend.
Once you start savings regularly your funds build up quickly. Each share saved (one share is equal to €1) is eligible for a dividend at the end of the year. The more savings you have the more dividend you receive. By saving regularly you not only help yourself, you also help your community as your savings provide a loan fund for other Credit Union members. You must have €5.00 in your share account to be a member of the credit union and avail of all the facilities afforded to members.
