owned and operated by its members. The member benefits by receiving a dividend
on their share account and lower rates on loans and services, plus you will
appreciate the friendly personalised service that still sets us apart from other
financial institutions.
This year we are pleased to announce that our Festival Loan is back. We are offering
a great loan rate of 6.95% (7.20% typical APR) on loans from €8,000 to €75,000.
Applications can be made at our office or online at http://www.lccu.ie. We are also open for
applications from local bodies and established businesses looking for finance to help
grow their business.
We are dedicated to being a vital part of the Athboy and Oldcastle local communities
and have been the major sponsor of the Blue Jean Country Queen Festival
in Athboy since 2015. We are proud to continue our association with the festival
which brings so much fun to the town each year.
