The Merger is Happening!
A heartfelt thank you to all our members from Core Credit Union and Greystones & District Credit Union who took part in the Special General Meeting (SGM) held on the 25th of August 2025. With the participation of members and the Boards of Directors, both Credit Unions voted in favour of the merger.
Thanks to your support, we are beginning a new era filled with opportunities and enhanced benefits for our members and community. This merger will expand our services and strengthen our assets, creating more opportunities to invest locally.
Greystones & District members will soon gain access to new products such as Current Accounts and the Members’ Prize Draw, while Core CU members will benefit from the re-introduction of Life Savings Insurance and more.
Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient Credit Union for the future.
Proposed Merger – Core Credit Union and Greystones & District Credit Union
Dear Members,
On behalf of the Board of Directors at Core Credit Union, I am pleased to share some exciting news about a proposed Transfer of Engagements from Greystones and District Credit Union to Core Credit Union.
This merger is a positive step for both credit unions. By coming together, we will be able to offer a wider range of services, give members access to more branches, and build a stronger, more secure credit union for the future.
In anticipation that the transfer goes ahead as planned, in September, members of both credit unions will benefit from easier access to branches throughout South Dublin and Wicklow. We will be able to provide increased levels of mortgages and re-introduce Life Savings Insurance also.
These positive developments will place the combined Credit Union in a better position to grow and improve, all the while staying true to the values that define us – community, cooperation, and member-first service.
Included on this page is a link to our information pack which includes Financial Statements for both Credit Unions and explains what the transfer would mean for you, as a member. It also includes details of the upcoming Special General Meeting, where you can have your say and at which we hope you will vote in favour of this proposal.
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to welcoming the members of Greystones and District Credit Union and building an even stronger credit union together.
Kind Regards
Ian McDonald
Chairperson,
Core Credit Union Limited
