Thinking About Opening a Sligo Credit Union Current Account?

If you're looking for a reliable and affordable way to manage your finances, a current account with Sligo Credit Union might be just what you need. Now available to Boyle and Keadue members, this account provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional banking while offering the essential features you expect. But is it the right choice for you? Let's break it down.

Why Choose a Sligo Credit Union Current Account?

  • Affordable Fees
    Unlike many high-street banks that charge hefty fees for account maintenance and transactions, the Sligo Credit Union current account keeps costs low with a simple €4 monthly maintenance charge. There are no hidden fees, making it easier to manage your finances. View our current account comparison chart.
  • Access to Online and Mobile Banking
    The account comes with online banking, and through the Sligo Credit Union mobile app, you can track your spending, check balances, transfer money, and pay bills on the go.
  • Tap & Go with Contactless Mastercard Debit Card
    You’ll receive a Mastercard debit card that enables contactless payments, ATM withdrawals, and online purchases both in Ireland and abroad.
  • No Surprises - Transparent Charges
    With clear fee structures, you can avoid unexpected charges for day-to-day banking activities like direct debits, standing orders, or ATM withdrawals. View our full charges.
  • Local and Community-Focused Banking
    Credit unions operate as member-owned financial cooperatives, meaning profits are reinvested into services for members rather than shareholders. By choosing Sligo Credit Union, you’re supporting a community-focused financial institution with branches in Sligo, Leitrim, and Roscommon.
