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

Break away from the big banks

I joined Bristol Credit Union so that I could use Bristol Pounds to support the local economy and be more ethical in my shopping choices. I think Bristol Credit Union is great and I hope it continues to grow to support the local economy and community. Reviewed on: 11th June 2020
