Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Loans:

Excellent, efficient, trustworthy and friendly

I've been with GWCU for years, both for savings and loans. Always had an excellent, friendly and helpful experience with them. They are trustworthy, very efficient and go above and beyond to help. Their interest rates in loans are fair and interest on savings is good. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Reviewed on: 30th May 2025

BCU simply has us, normal people, covered. The union makes a massive difference to how we can live, to keep roofs over heads. It's also welcome that it is not managed by shareholders. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2020
