Review of the London Capital Credit Union, Savings:

Small but mighty!

Just a brilliant credit union doing great things, building up their strength and investing in the things that matter to me. They've made impressive changes recently, including fingerprint access to their app for online banking. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

Would Not Recommend

I applied for a loan from London Capital Credit Union in good faith. I submitted all required documents – including my passport, BRP, payslips, and proof of address. After waiting patiently for over two weeks, I received a phone call confirming that my loan had been approved and I would receive the funds the next day. Based on that confirmation, I paid the deposit, signed the loan agreement, submitted my bank details, and prepared for the Direct Debit to start. I had become a member specifically because I was looking for financial help with some debt and a loan to cover my accommodation deposit. However, just hours before the funds were expected, I received a text message saying the loan had been declined — without proper explanation or accountability. No one informed me in advance. I was left in shock, with no funds, a missed Direct Debit, and serious damage to my credit. I filed a formal complaint, and as of now I’m still waiting for a meaningful response. The emotional distress, financial impact, and total lack of care shown have been appalling. Would not recommend based on my experience — especially to anyone hoping for a thoughtful or responsive service. This is not a place for people in genuine need. I plan to escalate this complaint to the Financial Ombudsman, and I am now considering further action, including legal steps through the High Court if necessary. This organisation has proven to be absolutely incompetent and a complete waste of time. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Great experience

This is my first loan with LCCU and I did not have any difficulty in applying for a loan. I also contacted customer services and they were very helpful. I am still waiting to be entered into the prize draw! Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

I have never been able to save before I opened my savings account with Credit Union since I opened my account many years ago I have continued to save and this has helped me to feel like I have a bit of security Reviewed on: 9th June 2025
