Great Western Credit Union Savings reviews (461)

A very satisfied early member.

I joined early as I believe in the provision of locally based finance. Although I do not use the GWCU for all my banking requirements, I have always used them for some savings and been pleased with the service given; and very pleased at the progress they have made. Reviewed on: 10th July 2026

Excellent service and a trusted place to save

I have been a member of Great Western Credit Union for over 20 years and have always had a positive experience. It has given me a safe and reliable place to save money for unexpected expenses and rainy days. The savings have provided me with peace of mind and financial security when I have needed it most. The staff have always been friendly, helpful, and professional, making banking simple and stress-free. I highly recommend Great Western Credit Union to anyone looking for a trustworthy place to save and plan for the future. Reviewed on: 10th July 2026

Smooth move.

I love the accessibility of Credit Unions and I was a customer of Stroud Valleys Credit Union for some time before they were taken over by GWCU. I had very much like that the Credit Union was part of the neighbourhood in Stroud, so I was a bit anxious about the possible move. I was surprised and grateful for how clear and understandable the information relating to the move was and how smoothly the move was managed. Since than I have felt part of a community and well informed about what is available. Reviewed on: 9th July 2026

Long term savers

Have had an account for more years than I can remember. Always helpful. All children and grandchildren have accounts. Reviewed on: 9th July 2026

Great 1 year savings account with GWCU.

Great 1 year savings account with GWCU. Good interest rate, taken directly from my salary and really helpful support from staff when trying to move money. The chat bot is good too - not frustrating at all! Reviewed on: 9th July 2026

Save with the Credit Union

I have been a saver and investor since the credit union started in my town about 35 to 40 years go. I do it because they can help people who have problems with money. I am not interested in borrowing. Reviewed on: 9th July 2026

Helpful and responsive

They have always been very helpful and very easy to contact. Reviewed on: 9th July 2026
