➡️ Were you already a member of the credit union or did you join in order to open a current account?
I became a member of Sligo Credit Union in 2023 and signed up for a current account soon after.

➡️ What was your experience of switching/signing up? Can you take us through the steps?
It was straightforward. I signed up for a current account via Sligo Credit Union’s online banking, whereby I had to scan a few documents, such as photo ID and proof of address, directly on the app. My card came a few days later followed by my pin number, so in all, it was a fast easy-to-navigate process.

➡️ Do you use your credit union account for daily transactions; i.e. paying for things with debit card; etc.? What’s your main indulgence?
I use my credit union debit card via my Apple / Google wallet(?) on a daily basis. I’d have to say my main indulgences using my credit union current account are coffee / clothes / hair / tattoos.

➡️ Have you found yourself moving away from using cash to pay for day-to-day transactions or do you still use cash to pay in shops, restaurants etc?
I rarely, if ever, use cash to pay for day-to-day transactions. By having my debit card on my phone, I don’t necessarily need my card either, just my phone. It’s a very handy way to bank. I was training in Tenerife last December, and really only used my credit union debit card and had no issues, thankfully, due to the globally accepted Mastercard.

➡️ Overall, what’s been your experience using the credit union current account so far?
My experience of the credit union current account so far is very positive. I use Sligo Credit Union’s app on a daily basis to keep check of my account, and I find it easy to navigate and use.

➡️ In your opinion, what makes our product / service stand out from other options on the market?
What makes the product stand out is the low monthly maintenance fee, which is just €4. What makes Sligo Credit Union stand out on a whole is their member experience, for example, the staff is always welcoming and ready to help.

➡️ Would you recommend Sligo Credit Union’s current account to family/ friends?
Yes, I would definitely recommend Sligo Credit Union’s account to family / friends.
