WHO WE ARE

The Lough Credit Union is a progressive financial firm in the southside of Cork City that has been at the heart of our community for over 50 years. Our mission is to provide the best financial services to everyone living, studying and working in our common bond. We operate not for profit, not for charity, but for service and offer a fantastic range of services to our members.

We offer competitive loans, fantastic savings, insurances and a modern approach to banking with our online banking and mobile app, along with online loan applications. We do this whilst also offering amazing face-to-face service in both of our branches (Bandon Road and Togher), providing a personal touch and a wealth of accessible knowledge for the people of Cork.

We have been building dreams since 1966 and will continue to do so with the support of our community.
