Participating credit unions are willing to look at any energy-efficiency or energy-reduction project which results in an improvement in the BER of the home.ĭennis Daly CEO of Tullamore Credit Union Ltd added: “We are responding to both a climate and a financial demand. Greenify loans can be used for a range of projects including a home retrofit project (from shallow to deep), exterior or interior wall insulation, attic insulation, heat pump installations or solar panels/systems. The credit unions involved in this initiative are excited to play their part in creating a sustainable future for their members by providing access to green finance of up to €50,000 over 10 years without the need for security. The Greenify loan will be a core part of Tullamore Credit Union Ltd’s loan product offering.” The green transition will not happen without finance. Having an expert panel with the likes of Duncan Stewart really confirms what we have long believed: there is a need to change our collective behaviours and that homeowners need financial support to do this. We want our members to be able to start their green journeys at home – investing in a retrofit project that will both enhance the comfort of their homes and do their bit towards protecting our environment. Speaking on behalf of Greenify, Caroline Collins, Member Services Development Manager at Tullamore Credit Union Ltd, said: “We are delighted to be part of the launch of Greenify because we believe there is significant demand for green finance amongst homeowners in our local area. The event included a thought-provoking keynote from Duncan Stewart as well as an address from Minister Seán Fleming TD and an expert panel that included Colin Tynan from the Waterford Institute of Technology and Ruth Buggie from the SEAI. The launch event featured some of the industry’s leading experts in an online webinar hosted by Helen Carroll of RTE’s Ear to the Ground. Last Thursday, a group of Irish credit unions launched Greenify, a new green home improvement loan, opening up the opportunity for thousands of homeowners to access green finance to retrofit their homes. Thousands of homeowners can now go green with a Greenify credit union loan from Tullamore Credit Union Ltd.
