Last year was a major milestone for First Choice Credit Union with the launch of its Current Account and Mastercard® Debit Card offering. Over 700 members have opted to set up a Current Account with First Choice Credit Union with over €3,000,000 worth of transactions processed since launch date.
The Current Account includes the globally accepted Mastercard® Debit Card with FREE Contactless Payments, Standing Orders, Direct Debits, Google Pay™ & Fitbit Pay™, cashback available at participating retailers, the option of an overdraft facility and secure online shopping. Members can also automate regular payments using Standing Orders & Direct Debits, stay in control with our Mobile web App, eStatements and eFee Advices and avail of 24/7 support for lost/stolen debit cards. Additionally, Priceless.com is available exclusively to Mastercard cardholders and provides access to unforgettable experiences and valuable everyday discounts in the cities where you live and travel to.
Members of First Choice Credit Union can open a Current Account online or in any of their local offices in Achill, Balla, Ballyhaunis, Castlebar or Swinford. New Members are always welcome in First Choice Credit Union and the Current Account is an available option on joining. This is good news for Credit Union members and for consumers in general who have limited choice of service at present. Additionally, it comes at a time where we see more and more banks not only closing branches, but leaving the Irish market completely. Credit Unions, operating in the local community, offer something different to the major banks in terms of their personal touch and trusted relationship with their members. Switching from your current provider to the Credit Union current account is easy and staff are on hand to guide members through the switching process. There’s no doubt that Credit Unions are here to stay and will continue to play a pivotal role in the financial services landscape in the years to come.
The Current Account has simple and transparent pricing and is extremely competitive. A low monthly fee of €4.00 applies and covers unlimited euro point of sale and contactless transactions, unlimited mobile and online banking with unlimited standing orders and direct debit processing and up to five ATM withdrawals per month. Full details of fees and charges are available in all First Choice Credit Union branches or online at www.firstchoicecreditunion.ie. Furthermore, students can avail of free day to day banking when they open a credit union current account.
