I have recommended friends in the past which have joined yourself and are left pleased like me. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

A fantastic organisation

5
Great Western Credit Union is a fantastic organisation which is going from strength to strength. It is so good to have a successful local financial organisation which exists for the good of the community rather than to maximise dividends for shareholders. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

A lifeline to people without options

My experience of Great Western Credit Union has been nothing but good and they have literally been a lifesaver to me. I first took out a loan with them after finding a new job and the period of unemployment caused several months rent arrears. So that stopped me becoming homeless when my low credit score meant nothing was available elsewhere. Years later in 2019 my chronic fatigue became so bad I had to stop working and then I was hit with fibromyalgia in Jan 2020. It got to the point I needed a mobility scooter to get to the shops comfortably and reliably, and they are nearly £2000 for a cheap no-name Chinese one and twice that for a well known brand. Again, on disability with no credit score worth speaking of, these people saved my life. I believe I can with fair certainty say I wouldn't still be here today without their help to keep me sane and life manageable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to someone both as a great service in itself and as a much more ethical alternative to the big transnational banks. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021
