Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Savings:

Love the new fixed rate saver

I opened a Fixed Rate Saver which had a great interest rate (5%). The online process was really easy and moving money from my bank to the credit union so simple. I now feel like I've made a sensible financial decision but one which helps others in my community. Reviewed on: 19th April 2024

Friendly and helpful staff

Unfortunately during the height of the pandemic I found myself homeless but with the unfailingly wonderful staff I managed, in a surprisingly short time, to get enough saved for a rental deposit. At all times, during the worst of the lockdowns I received nothing but excellent service. Reviewed on: 7th August 2021

Personal service

It is easy to make personal contact by telephone unlike mainstream banks. I also had excellent help when going online recently. I feel GWCU really care about individual customers and will go the extra mile. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021
