Welcome to Member First Credit Union

Member First Credit Union is one of the largest Credit Unions in Ireland, serving communities across North Dublin.

You’ll find we are different, a breath of fresh air. For instance, we
embrace the technology that makes saving and lending easier, so
you can transact from home or work if that’s best for you. On the
other hand, you can call in to lodge money, make a payment or ask
for advice. You don’t get that everywhere these days!

But don’t worry. Despite the innovations, the technology and the
enthusiasm, we’re still very firmly rooted in the community. And
that’s something we will never forget.

Savings and loans. On your terms.

You’ll like that we’re nothing like a bank. For a start, we go out of our way to make things happen. That means savings accounts without having to jump through hoops, and loans with minimum hassle. You can also talk to us face-to-face. Get advice from someone who understands. And even make a payment in cash. See, not at all like a bank!

The next generation of credit union.

There’s no bluster and no baggage. We simply concentrate on the services members want, and offer expertise in these areas. We believe strongly in the spirit of the Credit Union, but we’re also prepared to do our own thing. Our members are always looking to the future – the next dream, the next loan, the next thing to save for. And now with us, their Credit Union is too.
