Members of St Jarlath's Credit Union Tuam have agreed to merge with Athlone and Castlerea. It was agreed at the credit union's AGM earlier this week. St Jarlath's serves the communities of Tuam, Headford, Mountbellew, Glenamaddy, Dunmore, Williamstown, Glinsk, Abbeyknockmoy, Turloughmore, Corrandulla, and Moylough in east Galway.
The newly combined credit union will have assets over €440 million and 80,000 members. A statement from the credit union says the merger will mean a wider range of services for members. A spokesperson said members’ savings and loan accounts will be unaffected by the merger and they will see no change in the day-to-day operations of the credit union.
