I like that I can speak to a person I feel their customer service is very good, speaking to a person is key for me as opposed to a tick box Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

Regular savings

I have been saving with Glasgow Credit Union for a number of years. I prefer my savings to be with a local credit union than an anonymous bank. I have also been looking at other products within the credit union. Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

GCU For one and all

As a member for the last 28years I have found GCU a valuable institution it has helped me on numerous occasions over those years with loans great rates of interest also saving straight from salary means there is also a nest egg to fall back on.GCU is since it’s conception is and will have given Glaswegians a great and accessible savings scheme for all and the future Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

First rate credit union with a family feel

5
Been saving with Glasgow Credit Union for 10 years now, great organisation with great rates and friendly personal service whether it’s on the phone or (before the pandemic) in person. Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

Highly recommend

5
GCU is a great union which helps people to save money. The union is very much member focussed, allowing us to have a say in the decisions made within the union. There are several great products which I haven’t personally used such as loans but I know this is there if need be with great rates. I like the fact there is a personal touch to decisions made, and not all decisions for loans etc are made by a computer. They have been a pleasure to deal with since I joined approx 6 years ago. All of the staff have been very friendly and helpful when I have needed to contact them in the past. I often recommend GCU to my Glasgow based family, friends and colleagues.
