Review of the Glasgow Credit Union, Savings:

Looking forward to some Champagne living when I retire thanks to that little bit of help from GCU

I have been a GCU saver since 2008 My deductions come straight off my wages which means I use the balance of my wages to budget running my house . I am amazed at how quickly savings grow by using this method and how well I have managed to adjust my living expense to fit in with my allocated allowance whilst watching my savings accumulate . I have learned to use my set savings deduction as another bill & should I have to make any adjustments to my living situation I look to see where I can make cutbacks to prevent me having to lower my savings allocation and this means I make myself live within a set affordable budget I also have the relief of knowing should any emergencies arise I already have money saved which I can get easy access to online on a next day basis saving me added stress of having to apply & wait for a loan to meet whatever emergencies occur I find GCU a fantastic easy way to save I’d 100 percent recommend GCU to friends & family & work colleagues as you are guaranteed an efficient friendly service when dealing with the main branch & also have an easy to use online service which you can access anytime that’s convenient to yourself I find that deducting your savings direct from your wages guarantees you will save something each month rather than relying on there being anything left at the end of the month to transfer to a savings account I think it encourages you to live within your means & encourages you to be more thrifty with the cash you have available As the old saying goes YOU can’t live a Champagne lifestyle on a Lemonade budget I am so grateful to GCU for allowing me to learn how to budget my living expenses & set up a savings plan so that I can look forward to some Champagne living when I retire from working Bring on the bubbles I’m looking forward to them after years of drinking lemonade GCU is definitely the best way to save Reviewed on: 25th July 2022
