Special needs assistants who are members of Fórsa are now eligible to join the Dubco credit union. Membership is open to the whole family, including extended family, and new members will be in with a chance of winning €250 in their first month.

What’s more, members receive a €20 One4all voucher for each member they introduce and, if you introduce a family member you’ll be entered into a draw to win €5,000.

Dubco offers competitive loan rates, with no wait period or minimum savings required before you borrow. The credit union also offers a budget account facility, which estimates the annual cost of your bills and facilitates members to pay them in equal instalments throughout the year.

You can become a member by downloading and completing a membership pack or by emailing membership@dubco.ie or phoning 01-887-0400. You can also contact Dean Ladrigan (087-795-0584) or Jane Corscadden (01-887-0421) directly.
