Originally applied back in September. Provided ID through e-mail and got ignored for several months. When I followed up, I was ignored again. Eventually, almost 5 months after I originally applied I got a link texted to me to download an ID app, even though I had already provided this. Once I had completed that step I asked for an update on my loan application and was told it was sitting in a queue to be assessed and it may take a while. Okay fair enough you'd think, however I've since read multiple reviews of people having their memberships and loans processed in less than 24/48 hours recently. I'm not sure why I've been treated this way but it's really disappointing. Credit Unions are supposed to be friendly, welcoming and provide good service. I've had nothing but hassle since my original application and I feel excluded, downbeat and disappointed that for no apparent reason I am being treated seperately to other customers.

Worst service

Loans 29th November 2023

I wouldn’t recommend anyone using this service. The customer service is probably the worst I have ever experienced.

I asked to withdraw some of my savings - asked for on the Wednesday there was a bank holiday Monday but did not receive the money in my bank until the Tuesday, nearly a week to get my savings out! The explanation I was given it was to make customers think if they really needed their money out and the financial viability of the organisation - really?? This week was promised a faster payment on the telephone but was sent an email the next again day saying it wouldn't be done - due to staff training! I wasn't asking for a loan, I needed my own savings in a hurry! Sloooooooooowwwwww - not meeting customers needs who need their money imminently. Read more Read less
