Celebrating 60 Years: Competition

First Choice Credit Union Celebrating 60 Years with 60 Chances to Win €60 & more…

60 years. 60 prizes. €60 each. That’s how First Choice Credit Union is celebrating a very special milestone — and its members are invited to join the celebrations.

This year marks 60 years of First Choice Credit Union, and to say thank you to its members for being part of the journey, the Credit Union is giving away a fantastic €3,600 in total prizes through its anniversary “60 for 60” celebration.

Running from 19 October to 17 November, the campaign will see 60 lucky members win €60 each, with plenty of opportunities to get involved.

There are 20 prizes of €60 up for grabs for members carrying out a transaction during the campaign period, whether in branch or online. Simply complete a transaction and you’ll be automatically entered into the draw.

Planning to borrow? There are also 20 €60 prizes available for members who draw down a loan between 19 October and 17 November. Once your loan is drawn down, you’ll automatically be entered.

For those looking to manage their finances in a different way, opening a First Choice Credit Union Current Account during the campaign could also put you in the running, with 10 prizes of €60 available. Once your account is open and live, you’ll be automatically entered.

And there’s still one more chance to win. The 60 for 60 finale will feature a further 10 prizes of €60. Members who were unlucky in the previous three draws will be entered into the finale — so there’s a chance that even if your name hasn’t been drawn earlier, you could still finish the celebrations a winner!

With 60 prizes, each worth €60, First Choice Credit Union is marking six decades by putting its members at the heart of the celebrations.

Throughout the campaign, members can keep an eye on First Choice Credit Union’s social media pages for updates and more anniversary celebrations.

60 for 60 Competition: TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Branch Celebrations

Additionally, celebrations will be taking place across all First Choice Credit Union offices from 10am – 1pm on 12th October through 16th October. Monday 12th in Ballyhaunis, Tuesday 13th in Balla, Wednesday 14th in Achill & Kiltimagh, Thursday 15th in Swinford and finally, Friday 16th in Castlebar. Be sure to drop in to your local office as there’ll be plenty of goodies, giveaways and refreshments.

After 60 years of serving its members and communities, First Choice Credit Union is celebrating the milestone in the best way it knows how — by celebrating together with its members.

60 for 60. Let’s celebrate together!
