About Us

"Not for profit, not for charity, but for service"

That's the Credit Union Motto. Credit Union membership provides so much more than your average financial institution. As a not-for-profit institution, we return profits to our owners (i.e. YOU) in the form of better rates, services and products. So unlike traditional financial institutions, we're working for you.

St. Columba’s was founded in 1963 making us the first Credit Union in Galway. Life for the credit unions began with an office in a caravan back in the early days. Today we have three branches, Mervue Credit Union, Renmore Credit Union and Oranmore Credit Union. We are one of the largest Credit Unions in Galway and our members' preferred financial institution.
