More than 9,000 Credit Union Volunteers in Ireland
The credit union movement is built upon the efforts of thousands of volunteers who give freely of their time and skills to their credit unions in the spirit of cooperation. Each credit union has a team of volunteers with the skills and knowledge to lead and manage that credit union. Many people are currently contributing their time and skills through a number of volunteer organisations. The credit union movement in Ireland and Northern Ireland currently has 9,250 volunteers.
The roles & responsibilities of being a volunteer with us specifically
Here at ANSAC we call our volunteers Reps, and while you might know who your local one is, you mightn't know exactly what they do. In a nut shell, they're our men and women on the ground who are available to have a face-to-face chat to you, our members, about your share account, ANSAC current account, getting a loan, using our EZ BillPay Service, joining our monthly members draw or opening up an account in the first place.
While we have plenty of information on our website and our staff are available on the phone (01 8554489), we understand that there's nothing quite like speaking to someone in person sometimes. And it works both ways of course. The feedback our Reps can give us about their direct dealing with you our members and the service you want from us is genuinely invaluable.
Many of our Reps, who're interested in further developing their skills sets, also pursue roles in our various committees which include (Audit & risk, credit, investment, membership, nominations & strategic). These Reps give of their time freely to attend committee meetings and where necessary receive relevant training in areas such as Ethics, Data Protection and Money Laundering. And we're delighted to share that some of our reps have gone on to take up professional roles in various Credit Unions around the country.
