Pre Retirement Account Info
Retired From Your Work, Not Your Comhar Linn Member Account
Retirement is an exciting new chapter in your life. Comhar Linn has been a part of your
financial journey for many years and retirement doesn’t change that. We are proud to continue
supporting you with the same personal service, support and benefits to help you manage your money
with confidence and peace of mind.
SHARE THE BENEFITS WITH YOUR FAMILY:
Your credit union membership can extend to those closest to you. Your membership can help your family start their own financial wellness journey. Eligible family members can join through you and access the services and benefits our members’ trust.
SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY WHILE YOU SAVE
Even in retirement you can continue to help your family build their savings. Members can arrange to have a deduction from their pension paid directly into a family members account each fortnight.
A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR LUMP SUM
Members can save up to €100,000 which is covered by the deposit guarantee scheme , making it a convenient and secure option for managing your retirement lump sum.
SPREAD THE COST, STAY IN CONTROL
Managing your bills in retirement has never been easier. Our Budget BillPay helps members manage their finances with ease. You can divide your monthly bills, ad-hoc expenses yearly cost or upcoming expenses like holidays, car repairs, Christmas, and spread the cost over 26 pension payrolls helping you to stay on top of your finances, plus you can access funds in advance if needed, giving you flexibility and peace of mind. We promise to pay your bills on time every time!
RETIREMENT DOESN’T MEAN LEAVING THE MEMBER DRAW:
Just because you’ve retired , doesn’t mean that you have to stop taking part in our monthly member draw. You can continue paying €1.27 a fortnight deducted at source from your pension.
YOUR SAVINGS PROTECTED AT NO EXTRA COST:
Comhar Linn offers life savings insurance at no cost to members. This insurance is payable on the death of an eligible member subject to the policy terms and conditions. Comhar Linn INTO Credit Union has a maximum cover limit of €13,000. The amount payable in the event of death is determined by the member’s age at the time that deposits are made. The amount of insurance is in proportion to the value of shares a member has at certain ages. (T&C’s apply)
RETIREMENT DOESN’T PAUSE YOUR LOANS:
Just because you’ve retired doesn’t mean you have to stop accessing loans. You can continue to apply for loans and repay easily using our deduction at source from your pension.
PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES WITH A BENEFICARY NOMINATION:
A unique (and free) feature of credit unions is the ability for members over 16 to nominate beneficiaries for their accounts. A member can nominate a person(s) of their choice to receive up to €27,000, bypassing the often-lengthy probate process. The nominated property does not form part of the deceased’s estate, allowing access to nominated funds by the nominee within a very short period of the member’s death. And while it will not relieve the loss suffered by the nominee, it reduces potential cash-flow difficulties. You may change your nominee(s) choice as many times as you like once the form is signed and witnessed.
Your journey with us doesn’t end at retirement. Comhar Linn
continues to support you and your family every step of the way.
