Savings FAQ

Here are some of the frequently asked questions about savings here at Killarney Credit Union. 

Question: Are my savings secure?

Killarney Credit Union offers treble the protection on your savings.

  • Irish Government Protection Scheme up to €100,000 per account

  • Killarney Credit Union’s own strong Reserve Fund.

Credit Unions in the Republic of Ireland are covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme which is administered by the Central Bank of Ireland. This is a scheme that can provide compensation to depositors if a credit institution is forced to go out of business. It covers deposits held with Banks, Building Societies, and Credit Unions. Please see the Central Bank of Ireland’s website for further information.

In addition to this, the Savings Protection Scheme (SPS) owned and operated by the Irish League of Credit Unions is also available to proactively intervene to protect members’ savings by making available financial assistance to help any Credit Union which may experience difficulties.

Also, members’ savings are insured through Life Savings Insurance (subject to certain terms and conditions).

Any surplus above this figure is passed on to the Members’ estate. It is a legally binding document and is effective regardless of whether a will exists or not.
