For the loan assessment, the credit union lists three months of bank statements and an employment detail summary certificate. Self-employed applicants instead provide their last certified accounts, a Revenue self-assessment letter, Form 11 returns and an electronic tax-clearance certificate, alongside bank statements. Applicants receiving social welfare provide welfare payment receipts and bank statements. A signed Data Protection Form is required for a spouse, partner or guarantor, and some loans require additional information.
