The Best in the (South) West

5
I was overjoyed when credit union were able to assist me after an accident left me struggling to work and support my eight year old. The professional care, efficiency and empathy were second to none and I can't recommend this organisation enough. Reviewed on: 5th July 2022

Amazing been very helpfully every time I got a loan from them Reviewed on: 5th July 2022

The best.. by far!

5
Wilts and Swindon credit union has been lending to me for the last 12 or so months… I get the family loan top up/2 and am currently on my 4th loan essentially.. to date they have been extremely helpful, just as understanding and whether it’s correspondence, loan processing, saving or depositing funds into my account they are equally as quick at doing them all.. since starting to us this service it has literally helped me out of a bind or two, helped me decorate and most recently pay for my wedding dress… they are the best by far and I am extremely thankful!! Reviewed on: 4th July 2022

Hassle free and easy communication

5
I was referred by a friend and will definitely refer to many of my friends as they have been good to me, no regrets at all I wonder why I never started using Wiltshire &swindon credit union way back then. Best decision ever. Reviewed on: 4th July 2022

Helpful and always there

5
I had to start my life again after fleeing domestic violence with my 2 children. Opening a CU account was one of the first things I did in the new city we ended up in. Reviewed on: 4th July 2022

Been with them for years, always reliable & responsive

5
Very flexible, I have been both a borrower and a saver - the latter these days but they were there years ago when I needed them and I haven't forgotten, which is why I still save into my account, albeit a little every mobth. Most useful that it comes out of my salary and I can just forget about it. When I need that little bit extra, i can withdraw easily. Great service. Reviewed on: 4th July 2022
