If you want to switch your loan to Capital Credit Union, it is extremely easy.

If you are currently a Member you just need to apply for the loan with us. Once approved we will transfer the funds to your bank to clear the loan or can transfer directly to the creditors concerned, once we have the BIC and IBAN for them.

If you are not a Member (and eligible to join) you just need to complete the membership form and apply for the loan at the same time.

We currently offer a reduced rate Switcher Loan that is a 6.9% interest rate. This loan can be used to clear existing facilities including loans, credit cards, overdrafts, car finance etc. and wrap them up in to one repayment, making things easier for you!

Capital Credit Union are extremely committed to the community and here to stay. For instance, the interest that Members pay on their loans is re-invested back into the local community. In an age where the banks are closing branches and reducing staff numbers we have maintained and increased our presence in the community for our Members. That’s what makes us more than a bank.

Also, every year we donate at least €50,000 to worthwhile causes, organisations, sports teams and schools in our community. A Community Council made up of local volunteers decide on all our sponsorship requests and how money is allocated 4 times a year.

Along with this, we support our young people through various schemes including our:

• School Saving Scheme
• Going Green Grant
• Higher Education Scholarship

More information on all these can be found on our website at: https://capitalcu.ie/service/youth-services/ Be sure to follow our social media for frequent updates

Yes, we do provide both mortgages and SME Loans for our members.

We provide mortgages up to €300,000, Members can apply online here: https://capitalcu.ie/loan/home-improvement-loan/ or call 01 299 0400 and a Member of our Loans Team would be delighted to speak to you at any time to see how we can help.

For SME Loans, we operate under a brand called BizFin which can be found here: https://bizfin.ie/capitalcu/ SME loans are available up to €300,000 and you will find our interest rates are very competitive. We offer a transparent, efficient and fast process for Members who we are committed to helping.

There are 2 key points to this.

The first is that we do offer a current account facility which is free of fees and charges. It operates in exactly the same way any current account does but just doesn’t have a debit card facility. Any direct debits can by routed through this and wages can be paid into your account with us as well. This means Members can use their account with us for their wages, savings and loans. Our online facility also allows Members to transfer to external accounts at any time.

The second point is that surveys among our Members had shown us that there was not sufficient appetite for a debit card facility. The cost of introducing a debit card is expensive for any Credit Union so any decision would need to be supported by strong Member engagement.

However, we are always monitoring the situation for our Members and given the circumstances currently with other institutions we intend to review again in the near future.

A Zurich Financial Planner will explore your needs and will develop a financial plan tailored for you.

No. Face to face contact is not necessary in Zurich’s advice process, and this is of particular benefit and reassurance given the current challenges we all face from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Zurich will arrange all financial products for you over the phone, via email or through a video call. Information can also be issued to you and returned to a Financial Planner via post.

Zurich will need to gather some personal and financial information from you in order to assess your circumstances. Zurich are required to do this under the consumer protection code but more importantly, it allows them to highlight the best solution from their range of products.

Typically the information gathering, needs assessment and our recommendations of any products will require 2 – 3 interactions between you and Zurich’s Financial Planner.

No. As long as you retain some savings within the credit union, you will continue to be a valued member and enjoy all of the membership benefits which we provide.

If you purchase a Zurich product through this collaboration you will become a Zurich Life customer and your dedicated Financial Planner will continue to be available to you after the initial advice process. You will also have access to Zurich's online customer centre, which allows you view your personal dashboard 24/7.
