The Common Bond
A common bond refers to what connects its members. It’s the shared characteristic that allows people to join the credit union.
This bond can be based on factors like working for the same employer, living in the same area, or belonging to the same association. St. Canice’s Credit Union is based on the geographic area and stretches across 4 counties that surround our 9 branches. Any person and their family members who are living or working in the following areas can open an account:
