Why Choose Carrick-on-Suir Credit Union for Your Mortgage?

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. Whether you're purchasing your first home, moving to a new property, building your dream house, or switching from another lender, choosing the right mortgage provider matters.

At Carrick-on-Suir Credit Union, we believe a mortgage should be about more than rates and repayments. It should be about trust, support, and working with a lender that genuinely understands you and your community.

Here are some of the reasons more people are choosing Carrick-on-Suir Credit Union for their mortgage journey.

Competitive Rates with Built-In Peace of Mind

At Carrick-on-Suir Credit Union, we're proud to offer Ireland's innovative Capped Variable Rate Mortgage, designed to provide the flexibility of a variable rate while offering greater certainty around your repayments.

Our current mortgage rate is 3.85% (3.92% APRC), with a cap of 4.40% (4.5% APRC) for the first three years. This means that even if market interest rates rise during the capped period, your mortgage rate will never exceed the agreed cap, helping you plan your finances with greater confidence.

Members can also benefit from:

• No early repayment penalties
• The flexibility to make lump-sum or regular overpayments
• Fortnightly or monthly repayment options
• Transparent lending with no hidden fees or surprise charges
• A mortgage solution available for first-time buyers, movers, switchers and self-builders.
