FEELING THE POST CHRISTMAS FINANCIAL PINCH? GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER THIS NEW YEAR SAYS BAILIEBOROUGH CREDIT UNION.
Too much food and wine aren’t the only things causing post -Christmas hangovers in 2015. A recent survey published by the ILCU found that it takes over 8 weeks for consumers to financially recover from overspending at Christmas and certainly many families will be feeling the financial pinch in January 2015. Bailieborough Credit Union is advising its members and the public to use the start of the year wisely to get their family finances in order. Whether it’s a review of household budgets, paying off outstanding debt or putting a savings plan in place –Bailieborough Credit Union is best placed to help.
A recent survey showed that 51% of consumers expected to borrow money to get through the Christmas 2014 period, with 6% approaching moneylenders to cover these costs. Bailieborough Credit Union would like to remind people that they offer fair, competitive loan rates that are capped by law, which are significantly cheaper than loans from moneylenders. So if this year you are planning to buy a new car, carry out home improvements, take a holiday or are preparing for a special event, Bailieborough Credit Union can help make those plans become a reality.
Bailieborough Credit Union has been in operation for nearly 49 years and currently have in excess of 5,500 members. The importance of the local credit union cannot be underestimated and the continued availability of local, friendly and accessible financial services is of vital importance in local communities.
Bailieborough Credit Union does things differently and provides a safe place for your savings and small modest loans which are the very core of our business. The ethos remains the same today as when credit unions were established over 50 years ago. Despite enormous change, in addition to new and increased regulatory considerations, Bailieborough Credit Union remains a vital and accessible provider of essential financial services. As member needs grow, Bailieborough Credit Union is very much looking to the future, providing new, enhanced products and services – online banking, electronic payment services, direct debits, ATMs, foreign exchange, bill pay, student bursaries and specialised loan rates. It is worth checking out what your local credit union has on offer.
Mairead McGuirk of Bailieborough Credit Union said: The New Year doesn’t have to be fraught with unnecessary financial stress and debt. We are urging members and the public alike to look at their finances, highlight where their money is going, take those first steps towards effective budgeting and money management. If you are considering a loan, talk to us and see how Bailieborough Credit Union can help before turning to moneylenders. Our credit union prides itself on its innovative people focused approach to loans, savings, other financial services and continue to work for the mutual benefit and general welfare of our members. Our uniqueness lies in our difference to other financial institutions, this can be seen in the way we approach our services and how we are happy to deal face to face with our members”.

U13 squad gets bigger and competes very well.
Plenty of ECG boys on both South Ulster Under 14 and U16 squads, as well as Cavan Development squads, highlighting the talent we now have within the club.
First ever Community Games hurling for Kingscourt boys. Bailieborough and Shercock will follow suit in 2015.
27 blitzes for our U8 and U10 squads.
