Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Loans:

Social financing at its best!

BCU does what it says on the can - providing finance to those the high street banks won’t lend too. Making cheaper finance available to those that may be vulnerable to doorstep lenders, thereby minimising financial stress from those already struggling. Driven by social well-being rather than profit. Reviewed on: 11th June 2020
