KILLARNEY CREDIT UNION has this week launched its new loan product – the “Connect Loan” for members who have never borrowed from the credit union before or haven’t in the past three years.

The credit union is offering a very competitive interest rate of 6% (6.2% APR) with this product, to encourage its members to think about borrowing from the credit union.

Speaking about the launch, Mark Murphy, CEO, Killarney Credit Union, said: “We have introduced the Connect Loan for new borrowers or previous borrowers to get them to connect with us here in the credit union. Nearly half of our members haven’t ever borrowed or borrowed recently from us and we hope that by offering a good rate of interest will encourage them to come in and apply.” There are many advantages of a credit union loan including flexible repayment terms, free loan protection, no fees or charges for processing your loan and better rates than many other credit products such as credit cards or overdrafts.

Mark added: “We offer a huge amount of convenience for new borrowers as well, with full online banking facilities and direct debits for loan repayments. A decision can be made on your loan quickly, often on the same day. We consider all loan applications on the members ability to repay the loan, which is of paramount important."

The “Connect Loan” is now available in all Killarney Credit Union branches at Beech Road, Park Road and Kenmare. You can also make a quick loan enquiry online www.killarneycu.ie and a loan officer will contact you back.
