Manchester Credit Union is a name I trust completely. Their set-up is so easy to use and access (even for an autistic technophobe!) I have never had a single issue or difficulty while using their services. They are transparent and friendly and do what they say! Awesome! Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

I have been a member for about 25 years, and from a garden gate for our new home all those years ago to refitting the bathroom and more recently helping with savings. I can’t fault the service, it’s ease & straightforwardness. Always friendly, always professional and always there for you. Thank you! Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

Great experience, really helpful staff, always willing to go the extra mile to help families Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

The friendliest staff team!

5
I have been a member of the Credit Union for almost 20 years. I saved direct from my wages and my savings grew quickly. I saved to help pay for holidays and Christmas time. I also, more recently, was able to take advantage of a high interest saving account and got a great return. But the best thing about our Credit Union is the staff that are employed there. The CEO has been there from the start and is super friendly. All the staff take her lead - it must be a great place to work. They're always so helpful when you need to call. I hope they win this award - they deserve it. Tracey Reviewed on: 18th May 2022
