I’ve had a very good experience with Great Western Credit Union. Their customer service is responsive, their products are transparent, and the application processes are simple and efficient. Communication is clear, and I appreciate their commitment to ethical, community‑focused banking. A solid choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy alternative to high‑street banks.

I have been a credit union member for over 25yrs, both as a borrower and saver. When we moved to Gloucestershire four years ago, it made sense to find a local credit union that was working hard for its savers and looking to expand in its region. Great Western is that credit union and has invested in an easy to use online money savings account. Regular savings and one-off transfers are very straight forward, and we can see at a glance what we have saved, interest earned and where withdrawals have gone. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2026

Savings account very easy to open

Having recently set up a second savings account, I can confirm that the process was very straight forward indeed. I also had the option to set a savings goal for each account. This now nudges me each time I log on, reminding me of the % saved towards my goal, and the daily, weekly or monthly amount I need to save to reach it. As someone who aspires to save, I find this incredibly useful. In addition the interest paid is always higher than with mainstream accounts. But most importantly, every penny I save is helping those members who are really struggling to get by, as I have twice been supported in the same way. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2026
