Fair, Flexible Support for Me and My Colleagues

5
I am incredibly grateful for the support Great Western Credit Union (GWCU) has provided to me and many of my colleagues through the Money@Work scheme offered in partnership with St Monica Trust. Their savings and loan options through payroll deductions are straightforward, convenient, and most importantly, affordable. The deductions from my pay are fair and never feel overwhelming, allowing me to manage my finances comfortably without stress. GWCU truly understands the needs of their members and offers excellent customer service and flexible financial solutions. It's no surprise they have been recognized as finalists in the 2025 Consumer Credit Awards for both Best Credit Union (South) and Best Credit Union Loan Provider. I highly recommend GWCU to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive financial partner. Their commitment to helping individuals like me makes a real difference. Reviewed on: 5th July 2025
