Always helpful and they provide a great service to Bradford. I feel my money is safe, easily accessible by bank transfer. I haven’t used the loan facility but they are offered at great rates.

I've been saving with Bradford District Credit union for a number of years. It's so easy. i used to get the money taken direct from my wage, but when I changed jobs I had it paid from my Bank. Just saving a little every month really helps. My money feels safe and I can have it paid back into my bank when I need it. The staff are really helpful too. As a customer I get regular newsletters and updates and great terms if I need a loan. I feel it is banking for everyone, and I don't end up waiting for hours trying to talk to a real person.

I thought I was never going to be approve, having an average credit score was going to impact my chances. However BDCU where able to process my application taking my individual circumstances into consideration whilst making their decision most importantly my ability to repay which was not a problem for me having demonstrated that over the years being a member of the union. It was a great experience to have been approved where other lends failed. Read more Read less
