Drogheda Credit Union will be joining credit union members around the world tomorrow, 21st October, 2021 to celebrate the 73rd annual International Credit Union Day, to commemorate the credit union movement’s impact and achievements.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge the financial well-being of credit union members around the globe. The theme for this year’s celebration, ‘Building financial health for a brighter tomorrow’ captures the essence of credit unions who are working with their members to help them overcome these COVID challenges and to plan for the future. In good times and bad, credit unions such as Drogheda Credit Union, are there for their members to assist them to build and maintain a brighter financial future for themselves and their families.
In Ireland, credit unions are more important and relevant today than ever before. Credit unions across the island have continued to stay open and have continued to provide the excellent member experience with which credit unions have become synonymous, despite the barriers posed by the COVIV-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, north and south of the border.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by, and operated for, the benefit of members they serve.  Strong credit unions make strong communities. Credit unions genuinely care about their members, and put them at the heart of everything they do.
Tom Kiely, CEO of Drogheda Credit Union said: “Our members and community are our backbone and we are so proud here in our communities of Drogheda, East Meath, Trim, Dunleer and most recently Monasterboice of the part we play in sustaining that community. Our goal is to remain a cornerstone of our community by continuing to go above and beyond for our members, offering affordable financial services for our members.
We believe that Drogheda Credit Union makes a real, positive impact on the lives of people in our areas.”
Drogheda Credit Union has been proudly serving our members for over 50 years.
ICU Day 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.
