Altura Credit Union was founded in 1966 when it was known as Gorey Credit Union Ltd. Initially, there were no premises – but collection points instead However, the first branch in Gorey, Co. Wexford was soon too small for the needs of the business, despite being extended in the 1990s. In the early days it was a business run purely by volunteers both on the board of directors and as officers of the credit union, i.e. tellers and loan officers. Over time as the complexity of the products and expansion of the business continued paid staff were employed as officers to serve the ever-growing membership.
In 2008 Gorey Credit Union moved into a vast purpose-built new premises on McDermott St. In 2015 the first merger took place, with Gorey Credit Union absorbing Avonmore credit Union with three branches in Co. Wicklow. In 2016 a motion was passed at AGM to change the name to Altura Credit Union Ltd, as the having ‘Gorey’ over the door was a confusing message in Roundwood, Rathdrum & Avoca. In 2018 a new building was opened in Rathdrum, as it too had outgrown the tiny branch it had on Gilbert’s row. They are now in pride of place on the market square. Also in 2018, another merger with Carnew Credit Union took place bringing the branch locations to five. In 2020 a brand-new branch was opened in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, following the success of the pop-up branch that was in use for just over a year. At the end of the financial year 2019/2020 Altura had 34,371 members and total assets of €163,161,950. The loan book was €62,299,218.
2021 sees the building of another new premises in Gorey adjacent to the existing building. This will open in 2022.
