Current Account, Debit Card, Overdraft Facilities, E-Statements and more…
Tipperary Credit Union is delighted to announce that we will be launching our New Current Account in the coming months.
Members at Tipperary Credit Union have expressed a desire for a Current Account with a Debit Card facility and we have listened.
This account will be a full-service current account that is separate from your savings or loan account. The Current Account will provide a real choice to Members for their day-to-day money needs and will give Members instant access to their money through a globally accepted debit card.
The Current Account will also be accessible through our existing online and app facilities, so your Credit Union is always with you no matter where you are in the world.
Nevertheless, your account is still delivered by your friendly Credit Union and you can pop in to any of our 5 offices (Bansha, Doon, Dundrum, Plassey, Tipperary Town) or call us on 1800 62 22 62 anytime.
This Current Account is a real and beneficial alternative to the banks, provided by your trusted Credit Union.

Tipperary Credit Union joins more than 89,000 credit unions around the world to celebrate International Credit Union Day® (ICU Day®) on 17th October. The 71st ICU Day® is an important celebration not just for the global movement, but also for Irish credit unions.
In Ireland, credit unions are more important and relevant than ever. There are now 3.6 million credit union members on the island of Ireland, benefitting from €4.9 billion in loans. Lending by credit unions is up by 7.2% year-on-year, as members continue to benefit from affordable and flexible lending terms and conditions.
Credit unions are ethical, not-for-profit lenders that continue to provide effective and viable alternatives to financial institutions that operate for profit. Credit unions genuinely care about their members and put them at the heart of everything they do. This is why Irish credit unions have won the national customer experience award, CX Award, for a record-breaking four consecutive years. They are the only organisations in the world to have achieved this.
The theme for the 71st ICU Day® is ‘Local Service. Global Reach.’ This is reflective of how each individual credit union serves a local community. Collectively, this local connection has a global effect – there are now 260 million credit union members in 117 countries worldwide.
Celebrations in Irish credit unions on 17th October will revolve around the ‘Local Service Global Reach’ theme.
To mark the occasion, Tipperary Credit Union will host a FREE FUN Table Quiz.
When: Thursday the 17th of October,9p.m. sharp!
Location: Quinlan’s Pub, Davis Street, Tipperary Town.
Teams of 4 – Free Entry
€600 up for grabs for local clubs and charities.
-1st Prize €300 to winning teams local club/charity of their choice.
-2nd Prize €200 to the runner up teams local club/charity of their choice.
-3rd Prize €100 to local club/charity of team chosen based on a lucky dip of non-winning teams.
There will be loads of spot prizes on the night.
Speaking about the Free Fun Table Quiz to mark ICU Day® John P Hartnett Chairperson at Tipperary Credit Union said: “Tipperary Credit Union, like all credit unions, shares a common goal to offer access to affordable loans to the local communities we serve. We strive to provide even the most financially disadvantaged sectors of our communities with the tools and the opportunities to be financially self-sufficient. We go over and above on a daily basis in an effort to help achieve their life goals; be they education or travel goals, a wedding or renovating the home for the family. This is the credit union difference that makes a real, positive impact on the lives of people in the Tipperary/Limerick area. We look forward to celebrating this with our members, and indeed the whole community, on ICU Day®.”
Tipperary Credit Union has been proudly serving the Tipperary/Limerick area for 52 years. Tipperary Credit Union has a membership of over 27,000, and in the past year alone has provided over €17 million in loans to the local community.
ICU Day® has been celebrated annually since 1948, and is traditionally marked on the third Thursday in October. The awareness day celebrates the spirit of the global credit union movement. It is an opportunity to reflect upon the credit union movement’s history, promote its achievements, recognise the hard work and share member experiences.

Credit unions have earned the number one spot for the best customer experience in Ireland for the fifth consecutive year. Tipperary Credit Union shares the award with 250 credit unions in the Republic of Ireland. The achievement is a world first, with no other organisation across the globe claiming the top spot for five years running.
The annual survey, carried out by Amárach Research for CXi, asks 2,500 Irish consumers to rate their customer experiences of 160 brands across ten sectors. Credit unions again emerged as the overall winners, being rated highly for integrity, empathy and for the commitment of their staff. Not only did credit unions come first overall, but they were also rated first by consumers for value and loyalty.
Credit unions were also the only financial services organisation to make it into the top 10. In contrast, the banks 
performed worse than in previous years, with AIB falling 51 places. Permanent TSB fell 43 places and KBC fell 30 places.
Commenting on the achievement by credit unions, Michael Killeen, Chairman of the CX Company, said: “We have to congratulate Irish credit unions for their consistently high performance and for completing the ‘Drive for Five’. It really is a fantastic achievement to remain the Irish leader in CX over a five-year period – and a world’s first. Many Irish companies, particularly those in the financial sector, could learn a lot from credit unions, especially their member or customer-centric approach.”
Also speaking about the accomplishment, Pat Shanahan (CEO) of Tipperary Credit Union said “We are proud to be part of a movement that is regarded so highly across the country for customer or member experience. Tipperary Credit Union has always provided the highest standard of member service, because we genuinely care about each and every one of our members. All of our products and services and every decision we make for the credit union is made at a local level with our members’ best interests firmly front and centre.”
“We will continue to always put our members first in everything we do. I would encourage anyone who has not yet become a member of our credit union to drop in and check out our award-winning customer experience for themselves. We are always happy to meet people from the community, if only for a chat and a cup of tea. Our offices on Emmet Street, Tipperary Town are open Monday to Saturday. We hope to see you there!”
