Membership

    Becoming a member

Membership of Dungiven Credit Union is open to anyone who lives or works in the Dungiven area. To become a member it is necessary to complete a membership application card, which can be obtained at the Credit Union office. The new member enters his/her own details and signs the card. The applicant must also be proposed and seconded by two persons who are already members.

The minimum amount to keep an account open is £5.00.
