About Us
North East Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative that provides a range of financial services across its wider community. Established in 1968, North East Credit Union is today one of the largest Credit Unions in Ireland with assets approaching €500m and close to 70,000 members. Its core purpose is to deliver financial independence, wellbeing and opportunity for people and families and to support the development of a stronger, more sustainable community and economy in the region.
We are very proud of the strong partnerships and relationships we have developed over the last 58 years. Partnerships and alliances include community/development groups, sporting organisations, charities, DkIT and schools, businesses and support agencies. In 2017, a dedicated North East Credit Union Community Support Fund was officially set up to coordinate a sponsorship and donation programme that directly benefits our wider community. In 2025 alone, over €500,000 was distributed to local community organisations across Louth and Monaghan, all helping to improve and enrich the lives of our community members and the region we serve.

Have been a member since my parents opened an account for me as a girl. Saving is a great habit to get into and there has always been a friendly, community feel in Dundalk CU. It is there for that something special you deserve at a repayment you can manage.
