Friendly and helpful staff

Unfortunately during the height of the pandemic I found myself homeless but with the unfailingly wonderful staff I managed, in a surprisingly short time, to get enough saved for a rental deposit. At all times, during the worst of the lockdowns I received nothing but excellent service. Reviewed on: 7th August 2021

Simple

Great and staightforward experience all round : ) Reviewed on: 7th August 2021

Personal service

It is easy to make personal contact by telephone unlike mainstream banks. I also had excellent help when going online recently. I feel GWCU really care about individual customers and will go the extra mile. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021
