Northern Community Bank (formerly Pennine Community Credit Union) Savings reviews (172)

APR is horrendous

5
The loan was good when I needed the money, but the interest rates are very bad considering it’s coming out of your child benefits and it’s there to help people but puts us in debt. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2025
