Become a Member

We are a community based Credit Union and our common bond area is what unites all our members. It defines the area in which our Credit Union can operate and those who are eligible for membership.

Membership is open to anyone who lives or works within our common bond area. We operate from four offices – Clara, Moate, Ferbane and Banagher (please check with your local branch regarding our common bond area).

You may also join by association. To do so, you must be living in the same house as a family member who has an account in St. Brigid’s Credit Union Ltd.

To apply for membership call into our friendly staff at any of our 4 branches. A minimum of €1.00 is needed to open an account and keep it activated.
