Reply from Great Western Credit Union Hi Alexann, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. This is our busiest time of year, and while our Member Engagement Team is working hard to support everyone, it does mean responses can take a little longer than usual and it may take longer to reach us via phone. You’re always welcome to get in touch via email at [email protected] or secure message, and we’ll aim to respond between 9am–4pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). We want things to be as straightforward as possible for our members, so if there’s something on the website that didn’t make sense, we’d really like to know what felt unclear so we can improve it. Best wishes, Emily Response date: 9th December 2025
