West-Midlands Credit Union: the new name for the new name for St Jarlath’s Credit Union
From 1st May, St Jarlath's Credit Union will be known as West-Midlands Credit Union following a successful merger with Athlone and Castlerea Credit Union. This marks a new chapter for the credit union which now serves over 80,000 members across Galway, Roscommon and Westmeath. The new name reflects the credit union’s expanded regional footprint - while staying true to its community-first roots. Importantly, all lending decisions will continue to be made locally, and all existing member services remain in place.
“We’re incredibly excited to officially launch West Midlands Credit Union. This name change is about growth - and new opportunities for our members,” said John Doyle, CEO. “Our members in Tuam, Castlerea, Athlone and beyond are now part of something bigger - a stronger, regional credit union that still puts people first. While our name is changing, what matters most stays exactly the same: our local staff, our commitment to fairness, and our belief that financial services should always be personal, accessible and community-driven.”
