Very understanding and always there for me when I need their help. Reviewed on: 8th June 2020

Great personal service & local benefit too

5
The team at the credit union have always been really helpful to me, and I can't praise them highly enough. It makes such a difference to speak to a real person who isn't in a call centre following a script. Their loans are affordable and I know all my interest stays in my local area too. What's not to like! Reviewed on: 4th June 2020

Good company

Always a friendly reception; impressed by BCU’s commitment to local people. Recently their NHS loan scheme demonstrates this. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2020
