Thurles Credit Union - offering transfer/switcher loans

As Ulster Bank and KBC continue to exit the Irish market, credit unions are responding by broadening their product and service offerings to offer a credible alternative to bank customers. One such offering is the Credit Union Transfer Loan, which allows bank customers to easily move their personal loans to their local credit union. The transfer process is straightforward, with an emphasis on personal service delivered locally.

Speaking on behalf of Thurles Credit Union, CEO, Brian King commented, “Credit Unions continue to be an integral part of local communities across the country. We are one of the most trusted brands in Ireland and have just topped the CXi Customer Experience poll for a record eight years running, a record unrivalled in any other market. As the pillar banks reduce their presence and personal service offering, we are providing an opportunity for consumers to transfer their loans to a local lender who is always there for them. You don’t have to be an existing member of Thurles Credit Union to transfer your loan. Joining is easy, and we welcome new members every day.”  Head of Lending with TCU, Keith Fitzgibbon, has encouraged any existing or potential new member interested in switching their loans across to please get in touch with him or any of the lending team.

To apply or learn more, call 0504 91700 or visit www.thurlescu.ie. Alternatively, please email loans@thurlescu.ie for more information.  If you’re not yet a member, you can apply for membership and apply for the loan immediately.  

The Transfer Loan is a collaboration between the Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU), Credit Union Development Association (CUDA) and Collaborative Finance. Thurles Credit Union is delighted to have played its part in helping encourage this national initiative.
