When you retire from the Irish Prison Service you may remain a member of the credit union with the same rights and benefits as all other members, provided you agree to have all your deductions made through the pension payroll. You will retain your existing account number.

Members deductions will be made fortnightly from pension payroll and forwarded to the credit union on a monthly basis. Any amendments to pension deductions must be submitted in writing to the credit union. Please note that ALL pension deductions are sent to the credit union monthly.

If you are taking unpaid leave we will not be getting your regular payroll deduction. In order to maintain your account and keep it up to date you may make lodgements to your account by via our website www.priscu.ie using our "make a payment" option found on the left hand side menu once you have logged into your account. This is the most easiest and convenient way to make a lodgement to your account, alternatively, you can send us a cheque, draft or postal order to our FREEPOST address.

Please note that failure to keep up to date with your loan repayments will result in your account going into arrears and this will negatively impact your credit rating on the Central Credit Register (CCR).

Once you have signed up initially you can change the amount of your fortnightly deduction simply by emailing your change to info@priscu.ie, please tell us if it is for savings, loan or budget account.
