Not for Profit

Not for Profit

As a not-for-profit organisation we reinvest our earnings back into the credit union to improve services and offer competitive rates and fees to our members. This means that our members can trust that we're always working in their best interest.

Strong Numbers

The modern Credit Union movement traces its origins to Germany and to Friedrich Willhelm Raiffeisen, the Mayor of a small town in southern Germany, who in 1849 formed societies, which later evolved into Credit Unions.

The purpose of these Credit Unions was to enable people to help themselves in relieving debt and poverty Ballyfermot Credit Union Limited successfully merged with Inchicore and District Credit Union in July 2017 to create Ballyfermot Inchicore Credit union. The enlarged entity now has a membership base of over 17,500 and assets under management of over €86 million.
