Thoroughly recommend!

I have been with credit union since it started in our local town. They have helped with loans when times have been hard, and are a brilliant way of saving just a little each month, to make sure there is a cushion to fall back on when money is needed. Their Christmas Club is also very much needed at a financially stretched time of year.. The staff are Incredibly helpful and, If I ever have a query, they are quick to reply..- brilliant service.

Took me a while to sign up but no problems since then.

It took me quite a while to get fully signed up with GWCU, there seemed to be some issues with my email address and how their systems were processing it. However the customer service team were persistent and eventually helped me to become a full member of the GWCU. I've not been a member for long enough to provide a fuller experience.
