Bristol Credit Union is excellent!

I have used Bristol Credit Union for a couple of loans in the past. The whole process is very good. The interest rates are very good and you can choose how much you would like to pay off. I love the fact that they support the people of Bristol and I support everything they do :) Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

An excellent local initiative

Since its inception, the Bristol Credit Union has provided a lifeline for many low income families, operating ethically and efficiently. I've never required its services but have been very happy to save regularly with it, in the knowledge that I may need its services sometime and, in the meanwhile, my savings are being used to help others, rather than simply generating dividends and profits for a few.
