Spring 2026

Athenry Credit Union at sixty

Athenry Credit Union will celebrate 60 years in 2026 — six decades of helping local people look after their money, plan for the future, and feel supported along the way. What started with a small group of neighbours who believed in a simple idea — that a community should have its own fair and trustworthy place to save and borrow — has grown into the strong, member-focused credit union we are today. We’re proud to now serve members across seven branches in Athenry, Ballygar, Birr, Kinvara, Kilkerrin, Menlough and Portumna. Even as we’ve grown, we’ve kept the same values at our core: community, fairness, and looking out for one another. Our goal has always been to give members a genuinely personal experience — whether it’s helping with an affordable loan, setting up a current account and debit card, supporting online banking, or offering a safe place to save and learn more about finances. In recent years, we’ve put a big focus on improving our digital services so members can bank easily online or through our mobile app. But we also believe in being there in person when you need a real conversation — “digital when you want it, human when you need it.” As the financial world changes, our promise stays the same: we’ll continue to offer reliable, modern, community-based financial services, and keep improving them as we head into our 60th year and beyond. Experience the benefits for yourself and become a member today. Visit www.athenrycu.ie.
