As banks abandon their local roots, credit unions fill the void
One of the very basic principles of the credit union movement is to serve its local community. This was evidenced in Germany in the late 1800's where the modern version of today’s credit union took hold and it is still present today.
As banks either exit Ireland or reduce their community footprint, the credit union movement is moving in the opposite direction.
For the benefit of members
Here at Aviate Credit Union, we continue to focus on the needs of members. So, while we have introduced a full range of modern banking conveniences, we have also stuck to our roots to ensure all of our members are fully served. For example:
We continue to offer an over-the-counter service
We continue to offer cash services to members
Our loans are designed for members needs
Connecting people with people
As many of the commercial banks shift away from offering a face-to-face service, we feel that this is one of our greatest strengths as it is the essence of a great community connection. This is why, even during the height of the pandemic, we ensured we offered a face-to-face service for the benefit of all members.
Low-cost current account
As many members will be aware, Aviate Credit Union now offers a modern, efficient, and low-cost current account alternative to the banks. Plus, with our face-to-face service, there are no long delays to meet with a member of staff to get your new current account set up.
Cash and cashless services
Regardless of member needs, Aviate Credit Union offers a full mix of options to suit their needs. Our cash options are available in-branch. Our cashless options are available online…that is, we have a really dynamic mobile banking app PLUS, online banking PLUS a really flexible debit card.
Change is good
So, if you are looking around for a new bank or seeking out better value on a current account, or a personal loan, give us a call or check us out! Our staff are here to meet and chat with you and answer any questions you may have.
