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

Years of great service!

I have been with GWCU for many years now and was originally drawn to them for their Christmas savers account, which is a fabulous way to save for Christmas. I have also had a salary deduction loan and think the service that is offered is exceptional! please keep up the good work and continue to have that local feel. Reviewed on: 15th December 2025
