Opening a saving account with St Brigids Credit Union is an effective way to teach your children money management and budgeting skills.

• Junior Savings accounts can be opened for children 0-16 years old. 16+ would be considered an adult account.
• The account must be opened by a parent or legal guardian of the child if the child is under 7.
• The parent or guardian does not need to be an existing member, however, current photo ID is required from the person(s) opening the account on behalf of the minor.

We understand how expensive student life can be. With the rising cost of third level education our student loan helps students and their families with the financial stress of education

Borrowing to finance your education or training is an everyday part of life be it:

• College fees
• Purchasing books or required equipment
• Accommodation costs
• Everyday expenses – food/travel expenses

Student Loan

At St. Brigid's Credit Union we have funds available to support both parents and students as they start or return to third level education. Our Further Education draw has 2 prizes of €1000 which will help in reducing the financial strain.

The draw is open to members of St. Brigid’s Credit Union Ltd who are:

• Leaving Certificate students applying for third level education and apprenticeships.
• Students who are currently in full-time third level education.

Eligible applicants will be entered into the Prize Draw.
