Keeping it Local..!

Support Local, Borrow Local, Spend Local

Our Limerick Traders were out in force again this week to welcome back the traders who were closed during the pandemic and also to thank the people of Limerick for their continued support through a difficult period. In the last few weeks, we have seen a significant lift in business, and we would ask the great people of Limerick to continue on with this trend.

It is so important to support local as all money spent locally will drive our economy, especially the LOCAL economy.

Remember: Support Local, Borrow Local, Spend Local.

The ethos of Limerick & District Credit Union prioritises the economic and social well-being of all members through our vision of social justice, and wider benefit of this to the local community.

Regardless of the amount in your savings, all members should be aware of the methods of how to best manage their money, as well as how to protect and safeguard their money from financial abuse and fraud.

The purpose of this guide is to provide you with insight into how best to safeguard the funds in your credit union account. All persons are potentially vulnerable to financial abuse, but this is particularly the case where you are dependent on another person to do your day-to-day transactions, owing to a physical or mental incapacity as a result of an illness, a learning disability, a bereavement, or other circumstances where you need the help of another to take care of your money.

In particular, during the Covid-19 restrictions, members may be cocooning and so are not in a position to leave their home to visit the credit union. Such members may find themselves relying on another person to assist them in managing their money at this time. It may be a temporary reliance, but nonetheless, members must feel in control of their own money at all times.

If you need more time when transacting, or if you wish to discuss a matter in confidence, the staff will be happy to engage with you on the best solutions to managing your account and circumventing any challenges that may arise.

If you need help on any matter, the credit union staff will be happy to assist you. Here to help!

We have been alerted to a higher than usual number of suspected fraud cases involving credit union member accounts recently.

These cases relate to both incoming and outgoing payments to and from credit union member accounts.

We would like to remind members before sending a payment that once the payment has been sent, it is irrevocable. In addition, when making large over-the-counter payments please ensure that you are confident prior to sending a payment that the recipient is legitimate and will honour commitments to deliver goods or services.
