Account Nomination
Account Nomination
Members over 16 years are encouraged to nominate a person(s) to receive their credit union property in the event of their death. The maximum amount you can nominate is €23,000. This means that on your death, your savings will not form part of your estate and can be distributed without delay to the person(s) you have named on your Nomination Form.
As a Nomination overrides a Will, we encourage members to complete a Nomination and keep it up to date.
You can update your Nomination any time at Westport Credit Union.

- Members under 16 years are not eligible to complete a Nomination Form.
- A member cannot nominate an Officer of Westport Credit Union unless that person is a member of the Officer’s family.
- The Nomination is valid up to a limit of €23,000 Any amount above €23,000 becomes part of the member’s estate.
- The member can at any time change their Nomination by completing a new Nomination Form. Any previous Nomination will automatically be cancelled.
