Credit Unions Finally, the Committee has requested information about the Central Bank’s regulation of the credit union sector. Credit unions are an important part of the Irish financial system given their community presence across the country, their role in financial inclusion and the € 1 worth of savings they hold on behalf of their 3.4m members.
Our role in regulating the credit union sector is to ensure that it operates in a transparent and fair manner and safeguards its members’ funds.
