GWCU improved my financial wellbeing

5
Taking a debt consolidation loan through my employer’s salary sacrifice scheme was a lifesaver and really helped reduce stress and worry. I was able to pay a much lower rate of interest and repayments were simple and clear. The loan was flexible and a payment holiday helped me manage additional costs over Christmas. The way GWCU words their communication is very relatable and sensitive which also helps me feel less shamed about money worries. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2026
Reply from Great Western Credit Union Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing! We’re really glad we could support you through salary deduction and help ease some of the pressure during what sounds like a challenging time. Supporting our members’ financial wellbeing in a fair, flexible and non‑judgemental way is very important to us, so it’s especially meaningful to hear that our approach and communication helped you feel supported. We truly appreciate your feedback and your trust in us. Best wishes, Emily Response date: 24th April 2026
