Reply from Great Western Credit Union Hi Paige, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. Our loans have helped many members, including those who may have been turned down elsewhere. However, as an ethical lender, we may not always be able to offer a loan. This does not mean we would not consider applications in the future should a person’s circumstances change. We are very pleased that we were able to help you in your time of need and hope you can access our services again in the future. Best regards, Monica Response date: 13th August 2024
