Rewarding and ethical

5
I had some savings I didn't need to access right away so I invested in a Fixed Term Deposit account - no pressure to do so, just honest support and advice. So glad I did, it is paying 5% interest at present which is better than most banks. Also gratifying that my savings are being used to help my neighbours and my local community. My investment is both rewarding for me, and ethical. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

Friendly staff who help me out every time I upset their system. No rebuked, just a smile and some help. Enjoyed using the app and the website, but sometimes a human face is much more conducive to problem solving. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Customers first with Central Credit Union

From the easy online account opening process, to the ability to link withdrawal and Christmas savings accounts directly to your shares account, and the introduction of a high interest savings account, it's easy to see why Central Credit Union is so popular in the community. The cashiers at the local branch are always friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help and get advice when needed! The website is a great resource tool too, super easy to navigate and find information about products and services- applying for accounts online is a very straightforward process indeed. For those who prefer a more familiar approach, a face to face account opening service is still offered at the Park Road service branch. At a time when high street banks are in steel decline, and those left full of automation, credit unions like this one lead the charge by putting people first again. It's a wonderful community based organisation! Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Ideal for personal savings as and when you like or can it also gives you the opportunity to ask for a loan for those who should need one as and funds are low especially with price of everything continually going up and up I believe it is ideal for young generation to have a savings fund with young children and their needs especially at Christmas time Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Been with central credit union for a number of years now. Always a smooth process, staff are always more than happy to help and turn around is always so quick. Such a good way to alleviate pressure and added financial stress when unexpected bills or hardships occur or just simply saving for Christmas for less worrying Reviewed on: 9th July 2025
