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

The best credit union in the South West

Great credit union I use them to put a little aside for rainy days. Very friendly when I've had the odd query. Reviewed on: 24th June 2022

Always helpful

I have found this bank to always be helpful and understanding with regards to everyday living for people like myself, who hasn't thousands of pounds in savings put away. On the odd occasion in the past when I've needed an everyday loan of £300 or, a loan so I can pay a month's rent & deposit upfront, they have always come to my rescue. The staff are always polite and helpful aswell, so yes!!...they get my vote. Reviewed on: 24th June 2022

People not numbers

I like to work with GWCU because they treat us as a client not like other lenders that don't care about nothing. Amazing costumer service. 5 stars service. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

This company helped me when no-one else would.

Professional, yes of course they are a business, but very helpful personable staff. I had to fulfill their financial requirements, but they were compassionate whilst maintaining their sound business ethos when times were tough for me. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022
