South Manchester Credit Union Loans reviews (368)

Expressing gratitude.

5
I had gotten the news back in Africa that my mother was getting worse while in hospital and I needed to travel as a matter of urgency. I applied for a loan just to cover the ticket. Which I got promptly. However, while in the plane, my mum sadly passed away. I had to reapply for a bigger amount to give my mother a decent burial. Credit Union staff was exceptionally helpful and I was able to manage. A big massive gigantic thank you to South Manchester credit union and the entire team. Reviewed on: 25th June 2025

Even though I have been a long serving customer I think it’s wonderful how they do their vetting system. The phone call is very personal and professional but most of all you are made to feel comfortable. They try to give you a loan that is both affordable and that can be managed with your day to day living expenses depending on your circumstances. Reviewed on: 25th June 2025
