The TCD Association and Trust was established in 1987 following the merger of the Association, established in 1928, and the Trust established in 1955.
These volunteers have been among our oldest and most loyal partners, and we would like to take this opportunity to help spread the word about how you too can benefit from the services the Alumni Association and Trust offers.
The Association and Trust provides grant support for a wide variety of College projects where funding is not available from mainstream resources. This includes the activities of student clubs and societies, academic research, student welfare, training and charitable activities.
One of the main sources of funding for the TCD Association and Trust grants comes from the TCD Affinity Credit Card, which we would encourage you to look at if you’re in the market for a credit card. With over 10,000 cardholders to date, not only do you get great benefits from your card, but a percentage of the annual turnover on these cards is donated back to Trinity by the Bank of Ireland. The Bank of Ireland Trinity Affinity Credit Card, designed for Trinity alumni, staff and students, is the ideal college for the conscientious student, with it offering value and benefit to you and the college.
To the discerning customer, the card offers a great balance transfer rate of just 2.9% fixed APR when you move your balance from a card with another institution, as well as flexible payment options and no annual account fee.
You can also add up to three extra cardholders to your account while paying just one annual government stamp duty fee, and access a 24-hour emergency helplines and cash facility.
As if this weren’t enough, you can make quick, easy and contactless payments using your phone or other mobile device, and you can be approved for a card within 24 hours. Not only that, but should you lose your card while abroad, they can cancel your card, and provide you with an Emergency Cash Advance Facility in most countries. Of course, as a Bank of Ireland MasterCard customer, you will also get access to exclusive experiences, offers and benefits in Ireland or when exploring other destinations abroad with MasterCard Priceless Cities at www.priceless.com.
So what are you waiting for? Go show the college and your wallet some love, and get yourself an Affinity Card!
