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

Very fast response! Very easy to apply and great communication. Clear instructions given once loan is accepted. Would recommend to anyone! I applied on a Monday afternoon and by Thursday I’d been accepted and had all the information and paperwork needed to complete the application. Great service! Reviewed on: 18th December 2025
