Great Western Credit Union Savings reviews (307)

Excellent

Started saving with Bristol Credit Union to also help the community - very easy to open account and use their website. I enjoy reading their newsletters. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Very informative

I asked for a loan and was declined, I called and asked why and the manager of that department explained and broke down a few figures also, in a very polite and none patronising way. It was extremely useful information. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Compassionate finance

Very few financial institiution can be described as compassionate. BCU can. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Very happy with service

I am new to Bristol Credit Union but the service, correspondence has been excellent. Very efficient and easy to navigate information. Help available wherever needed. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

So friendly

Staff were so helpful and friendly especially during the Covid outbreak, they kept in touch with us all the way through the process of opening an account. Couldn’t be happier and have already recommended them. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Ms

I ve had an credit union account in Scotland before I moved back to England, I would recommend it to anyone who is keen to join and save even if you haven't got much money. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

BCU we love you

They really help to keep Bristol independent businesses relevant and support the local economy with the Bristol£ Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Great local business

I opened this account as a small savings account for Christmas. It's as easy as pie. I set up a direct debit to go out every month and viola. Christmas comes and I have some money. It is also quite easy to transfer money to another account outside of the union. Never had any problems. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

helps people who need it the most Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
