This category lists Credit Unions in the Republic of Ireland. A credit union is a financial institution built on the cooperative model, which means it is owned by its members instead of being a publicly traded company, such as a bank.Credit unions function on the basis of the members having a common bond. In Ireland the most usual common bonds are: Community bond (where all the members live, and in some cases work, in a particular locality). Occupational bond (where all the members are in the same profession or occupation, or work for the same employer).
