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

Absolute waste of time - They have policies which aren’t advertised or mentioned in their FAQ and far from being for the community are difficult to deal with, misleading and a business in all but name. Reviewed on: 18th November 2025
