Exceptional Service & Lightning-Fast Loan Approval!

5
I recently applied for a personal loan with South Manchester Credit Union and was absolutely blown away by how smooth the entire process was. From the moment I first enquired, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right solution. My application was processed in record time, and I had the funds in my account within days far quicker than I ever expected. Throughout, the team kept me informed at every step, explained every detail clearly, and treated me like a valued member rather than just another customer. Their competitive rates, transparent fees, and personal touch make them stand out from any other lender I’ve dealt with. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and will definitely be recommending South Manchester Credit Union to friends, family, and colleagues! Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025

Not just credit checks, trust and loyalty matters

Even though I have low credit I've never missed a repayment with my loans and when I'm in a unexpected situation they help me also considering trust and how many years I've been with them Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025

Excellence and Empathy

5
I never leave reviews or feedback except I have been treated exceptionally well. I have had to be open about some personal and health troubles to this union; and honestly as a private person I know how that made me feel. The beautiful thing was I could feel the empathy and sincere care when speaking to me based on details I have shared. I wish I could say I’ve spoken to just one person that was awesome; but no, they have ALL been amazing. Exceptionally professional yet very passionate and caring. It’s like at that moment what I needed was not important but they just wanted to give me space to just speak. They always wish me well. With regards to securing loans, it has been the easiest thing in the world:. They do their thorough due diligence and then help. It has been amazing being able to save with them as well.
