Such a simple application process and love knowing I have savings building up in an account that is separate from my everyday bank. Even better that they are supporting the credit union mission!

I wrote a review about their terrible payday service and using c and l collections it’s time they stopped providing any services to vulnerable people and the big organisations stop using them because their interest charge and this company they are using are threatening to people’s mental health and their life’s. A letter has now been drafted and hopefully Bristol city council will be the first to stop using then poor greed and not what they were when they first stated as a credit union. Think of wonga and these people are worst than them it’s time for them to stop operating and be taken to task over their disgusting recovery procedures which are like loan sharks! Read more Read less

My account with Bristol Credit Union was amalgamated into GWCU. I was excited that a large regional Credit Union was being established. My experience with BCU was exemplary! They really saved my bacon in so many ways over about 5yrs. Sadly, when GWCU took over, they closed down ALL of the in person counter services which were such a lifeline for so many people in need. Ridiculous. Tragic! It was almost impossible to speak to anyone even on the phone. I still keep a small amount in my account as emergency money, and to support the organisation. I had a BCU loan years ago that really changed my life, in theory GWCU still offer this important service. I hope they have sorted out their customer service, I haven't tried to engage with them in a couple of years. Read more Read less
