The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) has 81 affiliated credit unions in Northern Ireland. This session will provide:
· an overview of the credit union sector in Northern Ireland;
· the work that credit unions undertake in their communities;
· what makes a credit union unique; and
· the advantages of being a credit union member.
"More than two thirds of adults in Northern Ireland own a credit card, despite 43% being unaware of interest rates".
This is a statistic from recent research carried out by the ILCU in credit card usage.
We will be looking into the research conducted by the ILCU in relation credit cards (and the impact that the lack of understanding about credit cards can have on consumers) as well as back to school research costs and the latest results from the ILCU’s quarterly consumer sentiment index.
There will be Q&A at the end of the session - please get in touch with your questions or queries beforehand if you have anything specific to ensure we can answer it for you on the day or with a FAQ document after the event.
