atest press release from Core Credit Union Greystones, issued on Monday, June 8th 2026…

It’s already 9 months since Greystones & District Credit Union merged with Core Credit Union following an overwhelming vote by members in favour of this development.

The move was designed to strengthen member services, expand financial products and deepen community investment across Wicklow and Dublin.

The merger brought together two long-established member-owned organisations under the Core Credit Union brand. The partnership has already created a stronger financial foundation, allowing for greater investment in technology, lending and local services while retaining the local branch identities valued by members.

Local members have access to a wider range of products and services, including current accounts, enhanced online banking facilities and Core Credit Union’s Members’ Prize Draw as well as longer opening hours. The broader strategy is to continue to modernise services while maintaining the community-focused ethos at the heart of the credit union movement. There are plans to continue investing in digital banking, staff development and local branch networks to support members across the enlarged common bond area.

Meanwhile, planning permission for a significant redevelopment of its Greystones office on Church Road has also recently been granted. The plans are for a mixed-use redevelopment that will retain the ground-floor credit union branch while creating three new residential apartments above the premises. This is a template that Core Credit Union already successfully implemented in Dun Laoghaire and is a very positive investment in Greystones town centre.

On the product front, newly launched Greenify loans offer an affordable and easier way for member to invest in a greener future. From home insulation and solar panels to heat pumps, electric vehicles, and EV home chargers, all supported by a trusted, community-focused financial institution. Core Credit Union also regularly hosts member information evenings on a range of financial topics such as Mortgages, Will Making and Home Care. Keep an eye on their social channels for details about these and other news.

Michael Byrne, CEO, Core Credit Union commented “Our goals is to create a stronger, more resilient Credit Union for the future, all the time continuing to prioritise member value and local community support across our Common Bond area.

“We are really excited about the plans for the Greystones and wider area and welcome new members at any stage.”
