Excellent Service

I applied for a loan and within a days or so I was informed of the decision that I was successful in my application. While paying off my loan I was saving as well, so with my savings I was able to pay my loan off earlier and now I'm back to just saving. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Friendly and professional

The GCU succeeds in being both community and personally friendly and focussed while also professional and financially astute - all of which are precisely the values I look for (and rarely find!) in financial services. I feel my savings are safe and also being put to good use. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Cares for Glasgows Community

Great for saving for holidays, home improvements etc. Can use your savings against a loan with very low interest at affordable repayment terms which can be deducted from your salary if you are a Glasgow City Council Employee and your savings are still there at the end of the term of the loan.
