I recently used the loan services from Bradford District Credit Union, and overall, I had a positive experience. What went well: • Friendly and supportive staff: The team was approachable and took the time to explain everything clearly, especially since I was a bit nervous about taking out a loan. • Fair interest rates: Unlike payday lenders or some high-street banks, BDCU offered more ethical rates that felt manageable and fair. • Quick decision process: Once I submitted all the required documents, the turnaround was fast. I was kept updated throughout. • Community-focused: I appreciated that they’re a not-for-profit organisation aiming to help local people, not just make money. What could be improved: • Website/user portal: The online experience was a bit clunky. I had some trouble uploading documents and navigating my loan info. • Phone waiting times: On a couple of occasions, it took a while to get through to someone, which was frustrating when I needed urgent clarification. Final thoughts: If you’re looking for an affordable, ethical loan option and want to deal with people who actually listen and care, BDCU is a great alternative to mainstream banks. Just be prepared for a slightly more “old school” online process — but the people make up for it. Reviewed on: 5th June 2025

BDCU- Fantastic Experience

5
The whole process of getting a loan was simple, transparent and professional. Everything was explained and was clear from the beginning. Afterwards the management and payment of my loan has been simple. On the rare occasion I have needed to contact them, it has been professionally handled and sorted quickly and efficiently. Would recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 5th June 2025
