Quick and helpful

I applied for a loan to buy a friends car, and needed a decision quickly. The application process was easy, and an advisor kept in touch via email to gain further information. I got a positive decision within a week, really pleased with their fast work. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

A supportive and caring face of banking

The Bristol Branch of the Credit Union provides a non judgemental alternative to The High Street Banks. It helps those people that can be some of the most disadvantaged in Bristol . The Bristol Branch helps their clients rebuild their credit rating and the staff demonstrate a tolerant understanding of some customers that are trying to financially survive when they have so few resources Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
