Business in Laois and Kildare will be able to borrow up to €1 million from a local credit union thanks under a new plan which will see the People First Credit Union permitted to lend up under the Government’s COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme (CCGS).
People First Credit Union, which is a member of Metamo, the joint venture between 16 Credit Unions and Fexco, says it will now be able to provide Government-backed loans directly to local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), whose survival is critical to the vibrancy and economic wellbeing of the Laois, Kildare areas in which it operates.
