SDCU New Member Booklet

Welcome


Introduction So now you’re a member, what happens next? You will be given your credit union transaction wallet where you can store your lodgement and withdrawal dockets. You must make a lodgement of at least €10 as this is the minimum amount required to hold an account. A once off payment of €0.25 membership fee must be paid. You are then a fully-fledged member. Credit Unions are a cooperative that are run by a body of dedicated volunteers, staff and management. St Dominic Credit Union places people first and emphasises the philosophy, “people before profit”. By working together through co-operation, people can achieve far more together than individually on their own. As a new member we want you to know all the benefits and services available to you. Any further questions you have or if you require any details on any of our products our staff are here to help.
