St Colman’s Credit Union is part of the Irish League of Credit Unions and one of the great benefits of Membership is free insurance on Savings & Loans. Upon the death of a member his or her savings balance is increased (within certain limits and with certain qualifying conditions attached) and the outstanding loan balance is cleared so as not to leave a burden attaching to the deceased estate.

The benefit can be as high as €3,000

Depending on your age and how much you have saved over the years, Life Savings insurance could provide your dependants with up to €3,000 top-up on your savings and loan-balance cleared.

The amount of benefit is age-dependant as outlined below: 

Under 55; €1 saved provides €1 of insurance (e.g €100 saved + €100 benefit = €200 total)
55-59; €1 saved provides €.75 of insurance (e.g €100 saved + €75 benefit = €175 total)
60-64; €1 saved provides €.50 of insurance (e.g €100 saved + €50 benefit = €150 total)
65-69; €1 saved provides €.25 of insurance (e.g €100 saved + €25 benefit = €125 total)

Your Credit Union provides Life Savings Insurance at no extra cost
