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

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

My experience with the organisation was awesome

When I went to the then Bristol Credit Union I was not a member and was not expecting to be given a loan. To my surprise it took me minutes to get a loan. I needed the money to pay my son’s university fees…. I was desperate. I will forever be grateful to the Bristol credit union. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2022
