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

Fantastic community

I have been with the GWCU for quite some years now, and have always found the products and services on offer to be relevant, ethical and sustainable. I personally seek out businesses with this ethos, and the fact that there is a strong local connection, whilst maintaining a global outlook, means that I will continue to support this community and recommend family and friends to do the same.
