Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Loans:

Supportive, Compassionate & non judgemental.

I lived on my own as a young teenager coming out of care in the 80s I had no financial support and what followed from this Was many years of being in debt. I lost my high street bank account in the middle of a financial crisis I felt totally abandoned by my bank, I was in a complete mess. I didn’t think I would ever be credit worthy but a Friend recommended Bristol Credit Union to me, I opened an account and saved a small amount of money for emergencies then applied for a loan to help me consolidate my debt. Bristol Credit Union agreeing to this loan changed my life, it took away all those sleepless nights worrying about finding the money, I could start to answer my phone again without being scared. Now I am debt free and making plans to renovate my home. I am so thankful for all the help and advise I have been given and have recommended them to friends & family it makes me feel proud that they help people and businesses in the local community, I would never again open a high street bank account.
