Current Account & Debit Card - St. Canice's Credit Union

Finally, a real choice!

Our Current Account gives you a real choice for your day-to-day financial needs.

With instant access to your money through a Mastercard® Debit Card, a secure app and online portal and mobile functionality, you can pay your bills, withdraw cash and pay at point of sale; anywhere in the world.

Our Current Account is a full service current account. It’s more local, more trustworthy and has our commitment to a sensible approach to money. With low and transparent fees, it’s more of what you would expect from your local credit union.

The Current Account Debit Mastercard can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay digital wallets, making it easier for people who prefer to use their mobile phone and/or Fitbit or Apple watch to make Contactless payments. The use of digital wallet payments provides a safer more secure way to pay that removes the need to handle payment cards, touch physical buttons or exchange cash.
