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

Gods

Being a first generation immigrant, I don't have any help from family so I'm by myself. Found myself in debt and needed a debt consolidation. GWCU assured me they'd be able to help me and they helped me clear my debt with debt consolidation at a very low interest rate, even seemed to be lower than high Street banks as well (even though I had a poor credit score). Now I leave a normal life and my credit score as massively improved 700/1000 , from 400/1000 in a few months!!!! Reviewed on: 28th May 2022

There when I needed them

They have been a great help with life's expenses, they have helped me get a car I wanted, and pay for some of my wedding to which wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the quick decision and friendly call to confirm I was happy with the decision. I'm hopeful that they will continue to operate going on strength to strength in the future, now I have my first child on the way I may have to call them again in the future but I know I'll be in good hands. Thanks to all at GWCU Gary Reviewed on: 27th May 2022
