GWCU improved my financial wellbeing

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
