Who should apply for a green car loan?

A green car loan is for anyone who is planning on purchasing an electric or hybrid car.

Why Choose a Credit Union?

Because we’re for you, not for profit.

We are owned by our members and we only exist to serve their needs and the needs of their communities.

And for over 60 years, we’ve been helping towns and villages across the island of Ireland to thrive and grow – both through the funds we’ve lent to local people and businesses and the charities and clubs we support every day.

So whether you’re a first time car buyer, or you're trading up to something new, we've got the flexible loan for you. 

What's Different about a Credit Union Green Car Loan?

Unlike some other forms of car finance like Hire Purchase or a Personal Contract Plans (PCP), with a credit union car loan, you own the car from the outset.

There are no hidden fees or charges and definitely no balloon payments or mileage restrictions.

If you want to own the car you're driving and want the freedom to decide when to sell it, a credit union loan may just be for you.

And not only that, some credit unions offer a loan interest rebate at the end of the year, making credit union loans even more appealing. Please check with your local credit union for further details.
