Comhar Linn INTO Credit Union- a support for teachers.
I have been a member of a Credit Union from the day I made my First Holy Communion. From the age of seven, my parents spoke to me about saving money and how important it was. Since then, I have remained a member of a Credit Union, as I find it incredibly straight forward to save regularly with them.
In the last year, I have become aware of the INTO Credit Union. Straight away, I was interested in finding out more, as I knew there would be many benefits. The Credit Union has been a fantastic place for me to have regular savings, transfer my money to while working abroad and more recently transfer money online.
Current Account
It is just over one year since Comhar Linn INTO CU launched a new Current Account service. This is separate to a member’s saving or loan account and means that members have instant access to their money through a debit card, a secure app and an online portal.
Some of the benefits associated with a Comhar Linn current account include:
- Transparent fees (€4 per month)
- Contactless payments up to €50
- Overdraft facility of up to €5000 available
- Instant access to your money (mobile app available)
- Fees are cheaper than most leading banks
- Easy sign-up process
There is a current account transfer guide for those who wish to make the switch, find it here.

Budget Account
Using the credit union Budget Account service is a stress free way for members to manage their household bills. You spread the cost of bills evenly over the year and remove the burden of having a large expenditure in a particular month. You will no longer have to remember to pay your bills.
A Budget Account allows the member to pay all their annual household bills through one account, i.e Mortgage, Electricity, Telephone, House Insurance, Car Tax, Car Insurance, etc. When the total annual amount is agreed, a regular fortnightly deduction from salary is calculated. This amount is credited fortnightly to your Budget Account. No more final notices as we pay your bills in full and on time.
