A credit union is a group of people who save together and lend to each other at a fair and reasonable rate of interest. But credit unions world-wide offer members much more than financial services. They provide members the opportunity to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, building family homes and educating their children. In some countries, members encounter their first taste of democratic decision making through their credit unions.
Ormeau Credit Union is one of the largest credit unions in Northern Ireland. Located at 252 Ormeau Road in south Belfast, we have been in existence since the early 1960's and currently have around 8000 account holders. Membership is open to anyone who has something in common with the rest of our membership. In credit union parlance this is known as the common bond of membership. Generally that means if you live or work in central or south Belfast (including Carryduff) you should be able to join.
