Frequently asked questions

How do I apply for a loan?

It only takes a few minutes to apply for a loan if you are a member. You can start by mapping out an affordable repayment plan using our straightforward Loan Calculator, then we’ll take it from there.

Can I apply for a loan if I’m not a member?

To apply for a loan you must be a member of Capital Credit Union, and we’d love you to join our ever-growing community! You can quickly check if you’re eligible to join us, it just depends on where you live, work or study. Please note that not all credit Unions are the same — you may be eligible to join one but not another.

Who can join Capital Credit Union?

You’re welcome to join us if you live, work or study in parts of Dublin 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18. This is known as our ‘Common Bond’ — the area in which our Credit Union operates. We think locally, and we’re bonded by our community values.

What documents do I need to apply?

If you’re applying for a loan, we ask for photo ID and proof of your home address. We may ask for additional documents, depending on the loan amount and whether or not you’re a CCU member.

What kind of loans do you offer?

We offer a wide range of loans at very competitive interest rates for all our Member’s needs. Members can borrow for a car, home improvements, wedding, holidays (when we are allowed again) and many more! Personal loans are available up to €100,000 and are generally approved within 24 to 48 hours.

Also, Capital Credit Union Members get free Loan Protection Insurance (Subject T&C’s) with their loans for peace of mind. We also provide flexible repayment options and terms.

What is the process for switching my loan?

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!

How committed are you to the local community?

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

We can carry on the conversation any way you’d like — by phone, email, or calling at a branch. You’ll find one that suits below.
