GWCU Formerly Bristol Credit Union

GWCU Great Western Credit Union is a new name reflecting the merging together of SW credit unions that will hopefully see an expansion in services available to savers, as well as those looking for loans, supporting local people and investment. In a world where increasingly high street presence is under threat, GWCU maintains a reassuringly human touch and welcome range of add-on services for savers and a relationship worth cultivating and keeping up. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Great savings experience

Everything I want from my local credit union - friendly and efficient. And recent investment in the website and online account management has brought it up to the standards I expect from big name banks. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021
