Great Western Credit Union Loans reviews (1256)

easy to arrange

We used a loan from BCU to buy a second hand car. Then a couple of years later, our other car needed to be replaced. BCU were very flexible and allowed us to increase our loan, but stick to the same monthly repayments over a longer time. This really helped. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

A banking system with humans who care

Its great to be able to save for the way you want to save - handing cash over at a community out reach session or at the office. When you need a boost of funds for what ever reason - Bristol Credit Union will help you and work with you with a loan. Staff are polite and reproachable and have a willingness to help. Thank you Bristol Credit Union! Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Great help for the needy.

I heard about Bristol credit union from citizen advice bureau. I was struggling with money and went to Bristol credit union office and the staff were very friendly. I applied for the loan with the help of the staff there and got the loan. It helped me greatly. The staff of Bristol credit union are so helpful and friendly. I always recommend them to others.
