Open, friendly, banking/saving, helping the local community

I have been using Bristol Credit Union for a few years now to save money, which as been simple to set up and communication with the service has felt human not all computerised. When I have wanted to retrieve some savings this has been easy and quick. I would recommend to anyone. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Local friendly money support

Needed help to get a loan to do work on our home. Assisted quickly and promptly with courtesy and friendliness. While they were dealing with me, I saw them also help a customer with a first loan for furniture when he was getting a place for for the first time (with limited money) & he wanted some personal things for his own room.
