Interest Rates
LOANS - INTEREST RATES
By law credit unions cannot charge any more than 12.68% (APR) per annum (1% per month) on the reducing balance of a loan. Currently St. Canice’s Kilkenny Credit Union rates range from 6.4% (6.6% APR) to 9.9% (10.4% APR). Also, there are no fees or transaction charges. Why not view our loan calculator and see how reasonable a credit union loan can be. Since the interest is charged only on the outstanding balance of the loan, you will pay even less interest if you repay your loan in a shorter time than planned.
