West country credit union supporting local communities

West country focused credit union that supports local communities. GWCU provide a simple set of savings and loans. They provide a lot of support to people and help with basic financial knowledge. It is very positive to feel that savings are going directly to people that need loans and could have ended up having to go loan sharks or using expensive credit cards. Reviewed on: 21st March 2026
