Amazing help!

I took a coronavirus loan out to help keep on top of bills and eastsussex credit union opened a savings account on behalf I didn’t think I’d be able to save as money was tight when my repayments for the loan started I realised they took a proportion and put it in the saving accounts and it does add up! Since getting back on my feet financially I’ve made sure to put an additional £50 each month and opened another savings account. Due to there service you can’t withdraw money (which I would of usually done). This is very beneficial and it help build a better relationship between me and money! East Sussex credit union have been very helpful whenever I have had to contact them, as well as making it easy to know what happening via the app and regular email updates.

Everybody wins!

ESCU is something I value being a part of. I am saving, with a purpose, but at the same time, helping others in my home county. If I have an emergency, I can call on the union at short notice. Accessing benefits for local services in Sussex, such as Brighton and Hove Buses, has been a huge bonus for me. Thank you. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

Great experience

East Sussex Credit Union's employees are always super helpful on the phone, and it's nice to be part of a truly social enterprise Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

Outstanding

I have been saving with East Sussex credit union for over 10 years and they are outstanding. Very helpful and always prompt with transactions. I can't fault them. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

Impressive community resource

I initially opened a prize saver account but then that gave me access to the ordinary savings account. Then I found out I could have money paid direct from my acct from my salary so my savings are building nicely. I have told family and friends about it as well so hopefully they will feel like they want to start saving too. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

BETTER THAN HIGH STREET BANKS

East Sussex Credit Union have staff and procedures that understand REAL situations that occur in people's lives. They assess individual cases and advise fairly. Their loans and savings schemes are better than any you'll find with the average High Street / more long standing banks. ESCU is simply the best! Reviewed on: 7th June 2021
