AIB Castleisland recently hosted a banking information session for officers of the Kerry Macra na Feirme clubs throughout the area.

Presentations and workshops on the night were delivered on areas including: Convenience Banking; Lending to the Agri Sector; Account Opening; Applying for a Home Loan and Financial Planning. “Many queries and questions were raised on the night including the criteria for applying for a home loan and the implications of having no security available when applying for a farm loan,” said Donal Whelton, AIB Regional Agri-advisor.
