The best credit union in the South West

I have had peace of mind since I started dealing with Great Western Union more than 6 years ago when it comes to personal loans and savings, their service is exceptionally good. They take all circumstances into consideration. I will always recommend them any time. Reviewed on: 26th June 2022

Very Friendly

Great credit union I use them to put a little aside for rainy days. Very friendly when I've had the odd query. Reviewed on: 24th June 2022

Always helpful

I have found this bank to always be helpful and understanding with regards to everyday living for people like myself, who hasn't thousands of pounds in savings put away. On the odd occasion in the past when I've needed an everyday loan of £300 or, a loan so I can pay a month's rent & deposit upfront, they have always come to my rescue. The staff are always polite and helpful aswell, so yes!!...they get my vote. Reviewed on: 24th June 2022

Reliable service help to invest.

Good customer service with better percentage of reasonable loan. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

People not numbers

I like to work with GWCU because they treat us as a client not like other lenders that don't care about nothing. Amazing costumer service. 5 stars service. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

This company helped me when no-one else would.

Professional, yes of course they are a business, but very helpful personable staff. I had to fulfill their financial requirements, but they were compassionate whilst maintaining their sound business ethos when times were tough for me. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

Easy-going financial wizards

It's a real pleasure to deal with such easy going financial wizards. Nothing is to much trouble. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2022

My experience with the organisation was awesome

When I went to the then Bristol Credit Union I was not a member and was not expecting to be given a loan. To my surprise it took me minutes to get a loan. I needed the money to pay my son’s university fees…. I was desperate. I will forever be grateful to the Bristol credit union. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2022
