Review of the Manchester Credit Union, Loans:

A brilliant website that supports a clear and extremely helpful financial service

5
I have been a member of Manchester Credit Union since 2011. I have had a loan with them that was affordable and the repayment was easier than any other loan repayment I have experienced. The website is clear, easy to navigate, holds all necessary relevant detail for any action I require within my account. The recent addition of the Xmas Saver account option is in my opinion an outstanding benefit. I find the staff at Manchester Credit Union very helpful. I am indeed a very satisfied customer.

Been saving with Manchester Credit Union for a while now but needed a loan to install Loft insulation. Loan was approved in a matter of hours with a very easy online process and the money was in my Bank Account the same day. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

Great service

Manchester credit union gives options to single parents who may not have the best credit rating, as they know they can trust the child benefit repayments. I've recommended them to several other mums, and was told by a fellow mum about it myself. It has been a life saver. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

A weight off my shoulder!

5
Manchester Credit Union have been fantastic with me since joining them. The process to apply for a loan was quick and simple. MCU have been able to help me out tremendously with being able to not only just help back pay my loan off but to help me save too. I have been with MCU for over 2 years now and have never had any problems when it comes to applying, re-paying, and saving. It’s easily accessible for a person such as myself who suffers with anxiety and doesn’t make a decent enough income for me and my child. Being eligible for such a quick and easy loan took a huge weight off my shoulders and I will continue to use their services for as long as I need to. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022
