Excellent support and customer service

My overall experience was excellent! It was pre-COVID-19. I had just lost my brother and had no money. I was able to be granted a credit union loan (despite my not so good credit record ) for the funeral of my late brother. A very affordable re-payment plan was set up for me that enabled me to pay back the money quickly and best of all, without any stress or unnecessary chase. My overall experience was simply great. Customer service was nothing but empathetic and caring and all round excellent. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Great
