Amazing experience

Everytime I’ve needed help they’ve helped me out without too much effort, making borrowing as stress free as possible, the staff are all really friendly and overall a fantastic company, the only downfall I would say is I’m unable to lend over my first loan amount. Reviewed on: 12th June 2020

Always there and helpful . Great advice Reviewed on: 11th June 2020

a long time meber

i have found the credit union supportive for many local people who would otherwie be vulnerable to the loan sharks who are waiting to pounce. This dates back to the South West BATH c.u. and has continued andeveloped since the merger with Bristol C.U. Reviewed on: 11th June 2020

Supportive, Compassionate & non judgemental.

I lived on my own as a young teenager coming out of care in the 80s I had no financial support and what followed from this Was many years of being in debt. I lost my high street bank account in the middle of a financial crisis I felt totally abandoned by my bank, I was in a complete mess. I didn’t think I would ever be credit worthy but a Friend recommended Bristol Credit Union to me, I opened an account and saved a small amount of money for emergencies then applied for a loan to help me consolidate my debt. Bristol Credit Union agreeing to this loan changed my life, it took away all those sleepless nights worrying about finding the money, I could start to answer my phone again without being scared. Now I am debt free and making plans to renovate my home. I am so thankful for all the help and advise I have been given and have recommended them to friends & family it makes me feel proud that they help people and businesses in the local community, I would never again open a high street bank account.
