THANK YOU FOR PUTTING YOUR TRUST IN US!
CREDIT UNIONS RANKED AS IRELAND'S MOST REPUTABLE ORGANISATIONS FOR THE FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW
Credit unions have been ranked as the most reputable organisation in Ireland, topping the Ireland Reputation Index for the fourth consecutive year. The annual study, based on the perceptions of over 5,000 members of the public, measures the level of trust, respect, admiration and esteem the public has for 100 of the largest, most familiar and most important organisations in Ireland.
With a reputation score of 81.7, credit unions were one of just two organisations to achieve an âExcellentâ reputation score. Credit unions ranked first in the most important driver of reputation in Ireland, Conduct, in addition to taking first place when the public were asked if they would âgive them the benefit of the doubt in a crisisâ and âTrust them to do the right thing.â
Reflecting on The Ireland Reputation Index 2026, Alan Tyrrell, CEO of The Reputations Agency, emphasised the commercial and strategic importance of reputation, âFrom our 2026 study, the message is clear â reputation matters from the boardroom to the frontline. The evidence shows that organisations with an Excellent reputation score are 19 times more likely to earn the publicâs willingness to buy than organisations in the poor reputation tier. What also stands out from this yearâs findings is that the strongest reputations are not built by chance. Leading organisations consistently contribute positively to society, operate with integrity, deliver high-quality products and services, and are led by strong, focused leadership teams. Reputation is earned through actions, consistency and trust over time.â
John Fenton, Manager, Midleton Credit Union adds, âThank you to all of our loyal members, who put their trust in us on a daily basis. We do not take our reputation lightly and strive to not just meet but exceed expectations.â
