Clear communications and a user friendly website. Withdrawals are easy and the AGM is very readable Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

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

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

Super service!

Can’t fault the service from BCU! Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Amazing union

This union is amazing! I joined and everything was easy to read and the website is good. I entered my details with no problems. I applied for a loan and they helped me straight away! They were helpful and efficient. I’ve already paid my first payment back and will continue doing so. The money went in with no problem and quickly. Low interest too and I can’t thank Bristol Credit Union enough for helping me. I couldn’t rate them higher and I would definitely recommend them to family and friends. Very happy with my experience. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Amazing to Use Local Currency

I'd thoroughly recommend Bristol Credit Union, supporters of the Bristol Pound. We've had accounts since it started. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Everything is easy...

When I call, staff are always friendly and polite and this is also the case when I go into the branch. I like the fact that it’s community banking and I feel a sense of belonging by being with Bristol Credit Union. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
