More about St Canice’s Credit Union

St Canice’s Kilkenny Credit Union is a community and co-operative organisation, which exists only for the good of the people of Kilkenny City and its environs. It is a local organisation practising the original credit union philosophy of self-help where each members’ savings assists other members borrowings and by doing so keeps the money in Kilkenny.
The members own the Credit Union themselves and, as a member, irrespective of the value of your shares, you have an equal vote in deciding how the business is run and who runs it. The Board of Directors are elected from among the members at the AGM each year.
