When I first joined the Great Western Credit Union I ran into some financial issues I was given great help and guidance. I was given information about who to approach to sort things out. I will always be grateful for the help and that I was not made to feel embarrassed about my situation. Reviewed on: 21st June 2022

It's great to have community banking where it should be in the heart of Bristol, its fantastic that staff are available to speak to when you need questions answered.
