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

Competitive rates & easy to deal with.

During a high interest rate environment, GWCU offered a very competitive loan that I used to purchase a new car. The experience was quick and easy and the team were quick to communicate during the process. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 28th March 2024
