I love Manchester Credit Union. It is a great way to save but they have also been there for me in my toughest time when I needed a loan. Being able to use your Child Benefit payment to repay the Family Loan is fantastic, they also set a small amount to your savings and give what is left over back into your bank account, there is no stress about missing a payment. I would not have managed without them. Thank you Manchester Credit Union. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

First Class all round service

Manchester Credit Union is the only loan company I've used since I found them. I regularly renew my loan, I find it a great help, and the savings come in great use also. Renewing is easy and the staff having been very helpful, efficient and professional and everything is dealt with very quickly. Since I started with Manchester credit union I've never had a loan from anyone else. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022
