About Us
Putting People Before Profit Since 1968
At Leighlin Credit Union, we believe in people helping people. Founded in 1968 by a small group of local volunteers, our mission has always been simple: to serve the financial needs of our community with fairness, transparency, and heart.
Unlike traditional banks, we’re not here to make profits for shareholders—we exist solely to support our members.
🏡 Our Story
Our journey began over 50 years ago, right here in the heart of Leighlinbridge. What started with a handful of dedicated locals pooling resources has grown into a trusted financial partner for thousands of members across Carlow and beyond.
We’ve expanded our services, upgraded our technology, and continued to put our members first—because when our community thrives, we thrive.
👥 Who We Serve
Whether you’re saving for the future, borrowing for a big step, or just looking for honest financial advice—you belong here. Our doors are open to individuals, families, and local businesses who live, work, or study in our common bond area.
