Notice of AGM and Proposed Transfer of Engagements

By Latest News

We are delighted to present to you, the members of Limerick & District Credit Union Limited and MPCC Credit Union Limited, the annual reports for both Credit Unions and information in relation to the proposed Transfer of Engagements of MPCC Credit Union Limited to Limerick & District Credit Union Limited.

You will find further details and information in relation to the proposed Transfer of Engagements in section 3 of the below booklet (pages 77 to 83). To summarise this proposal, if approved, it will bring the two Credit Unions together to form a Credit Union with over 40,000 members and over €163 million in assets. The Transfer of Engagements is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Ireland and approval by members of both Credit Unions.

This merger arises from the belief of the Board of Directors of our Credit Unions that our members can be better served together and we consider it an ideal opportunity to grow and develop our services to members locally. The combined Credit Union will also be better positioned to meet the ever-increasing regulatory requirements.

The special resolution to approve the Transfer of Engagements will be voted on at the forthcoming virtual Annual General Meetings.

The Boards of Directors of both Credit Unions are confident that the enlarged Credit Union will strengthen our position as the local, trusted, respected and preferred financial institution for all our members.

Most respected provider of financial services

By Latest News

Credit unions have been recognised as the most highly regarded financial services organisation in the Ireland RepTrak® 2021 study carried out by The Reputations Agency. Credit unions took second place in the overall study with an overall score of 84.9. Bord Bia took the top spot while An Post took third place in the overall study.

Credit Unions were placed first in Governance and in Citizenship – two important drivers of reputation. In the analysis of brand personality traits that most closely correlated with reputation, credit unions came first in Friendly and Genuine amongst the 100 organisations that were studied.

The Ireland RepTrak® 2021 study is based on a survey of over 6,500 members of the public which gathered data on the levels of trust, respect, admiration and esteem they have for organisations in Ireland.

Speaking about the achievement, ILCU President, Helene McManus said: “We are delighted to celebrate this good news and congratulate Irish credit unions for their consistently high performance in the RepTrak survey. It really is a fantastic achievement to consistently remain in the top two for the past three years. It has been an incredibly difficult year for all organisations and businesses. Credit unions all around the country have remained a cornerstone of their local communities and continue to go above and beyond for their members.”

Commenting on the significance of this year’s results, Niamh Boyle, Managing Director, The Reputations Agency said: “Pride in Irish indigenous organisations increased average Reputation Pulse score by close to four points, with a five-point increase in Innovation, but with increases in Citizenship, Governance and Workplace scores also driving this increase. For the first time in 12 years, the reputation of the 53 Irish indigenous organisations (average 71.6) overtook the 47 multinationals organisations (average 70.9) that were studied.”
