Excellent alternative to high st banks

The simple thing is that I have a GWCU savings account which is really easy to use and equally easy to transfer money from. The new website makes this very user friendly, particularly bearing in mind that many credit union members aren't very used to online transactions. The second area is that I've worked with GWCU as part of my job for many years now. They have proven communicative, supportive and flexible in making various payments on our behalf for vulnerable, often homeless, clients. I wish my bank had such good 'customer relations'!

This is the best loan I have ever taken in UK. The repayments are affordable and the service over the phone and in person is the same warm welcoming. Thank you for such affordable loans to help out struggling families Reviewed on: 21st June 2022
