Very good experience overall!

Very good experience overall. I opened a savings account through a work incentive and set up a direct debit for £25, which I’ve continued without needing to think about it—an easy and hassle-free way to build up savings until I decide what to use it for. Customer service has consistently been friendly and helpful, making the experience feel personal and supportive. I gave a good rating rather than excellent due to a recent mix-up involving my direct debit, but to their credit, the issue was acknowledged and resolved immediately. Great work everyone!

Simple and easy to do.

Was easy to set up and when I had issues I messaged on thier site and got a quick response that answered my questions. Simple to use the site and having the convenience to withdraw money as and when you needed it was great. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025

Effortless Saving? This Is a Game-Changer!

I can’t overstate how amazing this experience has been! My savings are automatically deducted straight from my payroll, and I don’t even have to lift a finger. No manual transfers, no second-guessing—just pure, seamless saving in the background while I focus on life. What used to take discipline and planning now happens like magic. It's not just convenient—it’s transformative. Watching my savings grow without the daily stress or effort is beyond satisfying. This is not just a feature, it’s a financial revolution! If you're looking for a way to save smart, effortlessly, and consistently—this is it. Truly a life-changing experience! Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025

Makes saving easy

So easy to save through payroll and good rates of interest. I was encouraged to start saving with the "Stop loan sharks" incentive and keep saving monthly. It means I can afford a short get away with friends every year and I don't have to worry about paying for it, because I don't notice the small amount that goes out from my pay every month. Thank you GWCU. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025
