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

I was able to get a debt consolidation loan from GWCU.

I was able to get a debt consolidation loan from GWCU. The interest rate was much better than my credit cards and other loans I was looking at. The application process was easy. However, I would have liked to speak to someone before my loan was approved. There was some chance I might have been eligible for an even better rate, I would've liked to speak to them about it.
