How Community Credit Union enhanced their compliance and streamlined their board meetings with OneAdvanced

About Community Credit Union

Founded through a series of mergers, Community Credit Union (CCU) serves over 40,000 members across Ireland. As one of the country’s most forward-thinking credit unions, CCU is committed to delivering trusted financial services, strong governance, and innovative digital solutions that support its members and communities.

Background

Community Credit Union is an Irish business founded in 2010 through the merger of Clonsilla Credit Union (est. 1982) and Premier Credit Union (est. 1962). This was the first merger in Ireland of two substantial Credit Unions and puts them at the 
forefront in this area of the development of the Irish Credit Union Movement. A second merger took place in October 2015 when Community Credit Union merged with West Cabra Credit Union (est. 1967). To date they now have over 40,000 members across Ireland.

Time for a change

Using an outdated approach to meeting management was no longer an option for CCU. Endless reams of paper to create board meeting packs, time spent collating and distributing the material and a lack of communication throughout the process made it hard for them to run meetings effectively. Michael Branagan, Chief Executive Officer, shares why something had to change as they progressed into better solutions for governance. “Meetings & Board Management is an example of a tool for acting smarter, not harder, and as part of our new approach to governance and digital strategy, we’re trying to deploy that in our Credit Union.”
