A time to advance...
The ILCU has undergone a programme of re-focusing of its operations to better support credit unions in achieving their specific goals. The new focus and direction is centred on products and services under the following headings;
Trade/Representative Association
As the representative voice of the credit union movement in Ireland, the ILCU work in the best interests of all credit unions.
Monitoring/Supervisory Activities
The key to creating a balance between a commercial focus and the special ethos of the credit union movement is to establish and maintain a culture of self-regulation throughout the organisation.
Business Support Service
Advice, guidance and assistance with day-to-day operations and on a range of other issues are critical elements of the ILCU‘s Business Support Service.
Other Services
