Great credit union

Perfect in transactions. Easy to access, friendly and knowledgeable staffs at the sites, easy to fine and access either in person or online. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Helpful advice

Always encouraged to save a little which became very handy at times when I needed some extra cash e.g. Christmas. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Best, not just in the West-everywhere!

As a customer for many years, I know Great Western Credit Union is best because their customer service is second to none--patient, really friendly and efficient. Their phenomenal growth is evidence that many others agree with me! Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Best Credit Union

Only too Words.JUST GREAT Always ready to help Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

A good choice

I have been part of this credit union as it has grown from several small local credit unions across Bristol through to a Bristol wide and to what it is today. Really helped me save for a rainy day and reduced local reliance on loan sharks in the area I lived in. Easy to save, all my children have been members and many of my family. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Excellent way of saving

Loved being able to earn interest whilst knowing I’m helping people who are usually excluded from reasonable credit. Staff always helpful and website really easy to use. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Excellent credit union

I save regularly but when I need my money I can easily withdraw it. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Never disappoint

They simply the best. No extra charges and very reliable Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Great local bank

Is great to have the opportunity to have your savings working for a good cause at a local level, rather than letting a bank play with it investing in weapons or oil, for instance. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021

Very helpful polite people

They are always patient and kind Reviewed on: 3rd September 2021
