Great organisation for a reasonable loan

I have been a member of Wiltshire & Swindon Credit Union for many years and they have always been very helpful. You can easily reach them by phone, unlike most other finance organisations!! Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Applied for a payroll deducted loan, was approved very quickly. When payroll were less than effective, WASCU was helpful in releasing the loan without having been formally notified. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022
