Tralee Credit Union was founded in 1968, and we have been serving our members in a professional and efficient manner ever since. The name Tralee Credit Union changed as part of the 50th celebrations. Cara was the chosen name. Cara is the Irish for Friend, a name that reflects our identity, our success, our growth and our strength together. YOU, our members remain at the heart of everything we do.
