Naas Credit Union doing its bit for our member’s this winter!!

The cost of fuel has risen dramatically over the last few years and can be a significant burden on household incomes. Naas Credit Union recognizes that home heating, particularly in the harsh winters that we currently experience, is a non discretionary expenditure for members.

To help ease your worry about rising energy costs, Naas Credit Union has introduced a Fuel Loan. With a low rate of 6.21% APR, the Fuel Loan from Naas Credit Union is your best choice to get the fuel you need this winter.

Members can borrow €1,000 at a time or a maximum of €3,500 in any 12 month period. A loan of €1,000 will have 52 weekly repayments of €19.84. The total cost of the credit will only be €31.68.

For more details, contact John O’Brien on 045 888132 or call into the office and our friendly staff will be delighted to help you.

We are firmly "Open for business". Naas Credit Union is an independent and separate legal entity, providing financial services to Naas and the surrounding areas.Despite recent media stories about loan restrictions, I want to reassure members that Naas Credit Unions ability to lend money is not restricted in any way. In fact, we have significant money available and are working to support our members borrowing needs. Of course, our responsibility to our savers is very important and so we must be cautious in making a loan decision.

We did some more research on the differences between a Credit Union loan and a hire purchase agreement. In doing so we realised there were more advantages to the Credit Union loan compared to our first blog post.
