Locked away out of reach.

I have been a customer with Pendle Community Credit Union since they started with business in the Nelson church hall. I started saving something from my benefit each fortnight to start with. Then, as they continued to grow, so too did their customer service & staff, as more offices were opened up. More people put their trust in them rather than the back. I opened various savings accounts & it has been a continuous impact on my purse & my mental health, knowing that I didn't need to worry when it got close to xmas, as I had saved all year, putting money away in a locked account that I couldn't dip into whenever I chose to. For that choice I am & will be forever greatful. Reviewed on: 25th June 2025
