Always courteous, kind & helpful I've been fortunate enough to have been a recipient of several loans, but even when they couldn't help me their customer care is still outstanding. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

Bus ticket help

Person-centred reasonable lending

East Sussex Credit Union are supporting me to get myself out of debt. They enabled me to consolidate my debts, which I am paying off whilst also making some savings (at their insistence). They have always been very supportive and understanding of individual circumstances changing. They basically just treat customers like real people with real lives! They have changed my life for the better! Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

Easy, approachable loan people

I needed to take out a loan to build a ramp to give me wheelchair access. Contacted ESCU. They were very helpful and did a quick but thorough assessment of what I could afford, and explained their policy to get people used to saving a regular amount. They made a loan offer and detailed all the costs. I felt safe dealing with them rather than one of the awful payday loan sharks. The money was transferred to my bank account promptly. I now save regularly and have a safe, reliable contact if I need something in the future. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021
