Review of the Acorn Community Bank, Loans:

Acorn has helped me evolve my work and family life.

I have saved and taken loans from Acorn in it's many evolved stages which has helped me in my work and family life. I live in a housing Co-op and find that collective action helps more than the people doing the work. Reviewed on: 20th May 2025

I’ve been with acorn community bank for around 6 years now and I cannot fault them brillant service Reviewed on: 7th August 2025

For the community, by the community.

I'd been with Swan Community bank for a decade before they merged with Acorn and I've found Acorn to have maintained and even improved upon the service I was already happy with. The App is super user friendly, as are the staff via phone and email. The thing I've loved most about Acorn is the Loyalty loan where, if you've had the required amount of savings for the desired amount of time, you can get a substantial loan based on that and the interest rates are extremely low. This has been a game changer for me and my family and helps us plan ahead while affordable living within our means, and all while still saving. I'm extremely satisfied with Acorn and look forward to observing more growth of the company moving forward. I've also recommended Acorn to my son who just turned 18. An excellent service that genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. Reviewed on: 7th August 2025

They really helped me out in a time of need.

They really helped me out in a time of need. Struggling to make ends meet on top of being able to spoil my kids at Christmas. Acorn helped me do just that. Really simple and easy to apply and reasonable repayment play that I don’t even have to worry about as it comes straight out my child benefit. Stress and worry free! Fabulous service Reviewed on: 4th August 2025
