Sheffield Credit Union Savings reviews (682)

An excellent service which helps build prosperity for all

I am delighted to have a savings account with Sheffield Credit Union. In saving with them not only do I get competitive rates of interest but I am also investing in the capital of my city. The money saved is able to be loaned on honest rates to ordinary people. This helps people to avoid loan sharks and other disreputable lenders. Reviewed on: 28th June 2023

I never thought I would need a credit union

I never thought that I would need a credit union. I became a member years ago as a political gesture with a small monthly direct deduction from my salary. When I separated from my wife she threw me out, changed the locks, took the car away & took £6000 out of the joint account, the only bank account I had. I could not even honour my insurance payments. After I froze the account I had nowhere to go. Sheffield Credit Union were really sympathetic. I was able to access my savings to get me through till the end of the month & was able to bank an old cheque I found in my unopened mail. Without Sheffield Credit Union I would have been left unexpectedly with no money or financial services. I now have a new bank account & things are looking up., but Sheffield Credit Union was there when I needed them. Reviewed on: 28th June 2023

Great support towards financial freedom

Credit union have allowed me to have savings which I never had and have given me good advice regarding a loan which helped me out so much. This is so important because it avoids having to use loan sharks or using expensive loan companies who do not have your best interests at their core. Simply knowing that credit union are there to turn to for help and great advice is wonderful. I don't have a lot of savings but just knowing I have actually got some is a great self worth feeling. I know that I would never be able to get myself into debt asking for loans or anything if it was not within my budget and this is so good when dealing with credit union you get the right support and advise. They are brilliant and I have introduced a good few people to them along the way. Reviewed on: 28th June 2023

20 year-plus customer!

Happy to recommend Sheffield Credit Union for the continuous great service I have received for over 20 years! Access to my savings is convenient & being able to use the app for all services is a bonus! Reviewed on: 28th June 2023

An ethical way to save

For a long time, especially since the financial crisis, I have felt uncomfortable using for-profit banks who are only interested in generating wealth for their shareholders. Sheffield Credit Union offers that not-for-profit alternative. The team at the Sheffield office are really friendly and helpful and I'm so glad this service exists. Thank you.

No fuss and easy to manage your account

I have money stopped directly from my wages every month , there's no hassle, easy to withdraw and very helpful if needing a loan. Top rated service. I have no complaints at all. Reviewed on: 28th June 2023
