Make your savings work for you with a low cost Secured Shares Loan

Most members find it easier to repay a loan than replace savings as saving money takes alot of time and effort and so that's why we have a Secured Shares Loan. A Secured Shares Loan allows you to borrow money without having to dip into your hard earned savings.

With a Secured Shares Loan, also known as a Secured or Covered Loan you can borrow up to the amount you have in savings at our lowest current interest rate of only 6% (APR 6.17%). This is one of the easiest, quickest and cheapest ways to borrow money from South Dublin Credit Union.

You borrow money using your own savings as security and we put a temporary hold on an amount of your shares equal to the value of your loan until it is repaid in full. This gives you a very cost effective way to access funds today with a low interest rate while guaranteeing your savings are untouched and available for you to spend in the future as you wish.

If you're still wondering whether a Secured Shares Loan is right for you take a look at this example. If a member has €4,000 in savings and wants to borrow €2,500, they can get a reduced interest rate if they pledge €2,500 from their savings against the loan.

By pledging their Shares, the member cannot access the €2,500 until the loan is paid back. They can however access the remaining €1,500 based on the above example. The amount pledged reduces as you repay the loan and so you only have to keep enough shares in your account to cover the outstanding loan balance.
