Membership of Kildare Credit Union is open to anyone who lives or works within our common bond.
The Common Bond is the factor which unites the members of a Credit Union together i.e., those living or working in the same area may join a credit union. It defines the area in which a credit union can operate. The Common Bond ensures that the savings of members of the community are available to fellow members as loans - it is essentially people doing it for themselves.
The Common Bond demonstrates effectively how a credit union is a credit co-operative with members working together to achieve a better life for themselves. You are eligible to become a member of Kildare Credit Union if you live or work in the Common Bond.
Kildare Credit Union has three offices:
1. Kildare Office, Rea House, Bride Street, Kildare Town
2. Narraghmore Office, Narraghmore, Ballytore, Co. Kildare

Under Rule 19 Standard Rules for Credit Union, if you have not transacted on your account for a period of 3 years or more and you do not respond to final notification of contact from our office, then your account will automatically be categorised as Dormant.
