Balltinglass Credit Union
Baltinglass Credit Union (BCU) are trying to bust those myths going around! Did you know you can join the Credit Union & apply for a loan all on the same day?
Now you can! Before you might have heard that you need to be saving 12 weeks before applying or you can only borrow 3 times the amount in your savings.
Not the case, your loan is assessed on your ability to repay! So come join Baltinglass CU and see the many benefits of becoming a part of our community.
Check out our website on baltingasscu.ie or call us on 059 64 81071. T&C’s & Normal lending criteria apply.
(To join BCU you need to work or live within our Common Bond area)

A sincere thank you must go to Dunlavin GAA Club for providing the site. The onus is on us all now to ensure these bins are used in the manner intended and for no other purpose. We hope that this will be a welcome resource for our community and help us all to recycle that little bit more.
