Mitchelstown Credit Union introduces ‘The Local Loan’

Mitchelstown Credit Union has looked at how we can boost the local economy in this difficult period. Our answer is ‘The Local Loan’.

With ‘The Local Loan’, Mitchelstown Credit Union will give a discounted loan rate of 7.9% to members borrowing to buy local.

We hope this discounted rate will encourage our members to purchase and shop local.

If you are buying a car in Knocklong, using a builder in Ballindangan or a carpenter in Galbally, ‘The Local Loan’ is the loan for you.

Mitchelstown Credit Union finance officer Brian Whelan said: “Our members have shown great loyalty to Mitchelstown Credit Union in recent years and we hope this small gesture helps them and the community in general, who make Mitchelstown and the surrounding areas a great place to call home.”
