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

Glasgow Credit Union Savings reviews (3844)

Friendly and Efficient

5
I’ve been with Glasgow Credit Union for about 20 years and in the past have used them for both savings and loans. As a retired person I find the Credit Union still a great way to save for both home improvements and holidays. Staff are friendly, efficient and very helpful. A great service Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Excellent Company

This company is so easy to deal with , going online makes it so much easier to do my business and having my money directly taken from my wages makes it less noticeable . The rate of interest on loans is great too Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Ethically based, non-profit organisation

5
I have been a member of Glasgow Credit Union for almost 30 years, initially as a Glasgow District Council employee member (as it was initially an employee only organisation) but maintained my account when I changed employer in 2005. I am fortunate enough that I no longer need to borrow money from the credit union but continue to save with them as I believe in the ethos of Glasgow Credit Unions i.e. "to improve our community through financial empowerment and education" and I am delighted that it is so professionally run and I feel secure in the knowledge that my savings are safe but being used to benefit others. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Glasgow Credit Union is the best

I started banking with GCU when I started work with the council and the money comes out of my pay and straight into my account, I'm saving money without even thinking about it. It's wonderful. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
