The biggest challenge that GWCU face is that it all sounds just too good to be true! Which can make it strangely hard to recommend to people who bruised and despairing under the tremendous and judgemental pressure that banks and other forms of credit bring. Who CAN believe nowadays that finance can be kind, equitable, transparent, fair, pramatic, timely and non judgemental? Based on a deep understanding of the real world and tailored to fit? I couldn't recommend GWCU unions more highly...so, asks my friends and colleagues, what is the catch?? Reviewed on: 26th May 2026

Great Union

I've been a member of Great Western Credit Union for a while now and the staff are always friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care — it's a world away from dealing with a big bank. The website can be a bit clunky at times, but for fair, community-focused loans and savings, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2026
