10. Lump Sum Instant Access & Notice Deposits - Credit Union Savings Accounts:
  • There are approximately 175 Credit Unions in Ireland. While their interest rates typically trail behind those offered by major banks and brokers, some Credit Unions offer annual dividends on savings. Though these dividends also tend to be lower than the returns from high-yielding bank accounts, exceptional products do occasionally pop up. Because rates and perks vary by branch, and product, it may be worth checking with your local or industry-specific Credit Union to see their current offerings.
Notes:
  • Instant access and notice account rates and products change frequently. Ensure you regularly check your rate to ensure you are getting the best return for your money.
  • Post updates / suggestions in the deposits and savings forum.
  • There are other best buy threads for term deposits and regular saver accounts.
