Top class!

I can't thank the ESCU enough. I had a money situation about 10 years ago and they came to the rescue with manageable loan amount/repayment at a lower interest than I was offered elsewhere. The only proviso being that I also had to pay into a share account to build up some savings at the same time. This helped to enforce good saving habits and bring me out of financial distress. Now loan free, I also have a nice little pot of savings that I continue to add to which has proved very handy to dip into for unforeseen circumstances! In addition to this, the customer service has been beyond excellent. On the one occasion (in 10 years!) that there was a blip it was resolved immediately. So, thank you ESCU and your fantastic staff!

Continuous innovation

Thus little credit union is always seeking user friendly solutions and improve their services. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

Excellent consistent work

I have been with the ESCU for a few years now and they provide consistently excellent customer service, especially in 2020 during challenging times. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

A community bank

Very much centred in the local community- the credit union is a modern organisation, web access to accounts, and enabling people to borrow when they need to without crippling interest rates Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

ESCU motivated me to save £20 per month which was affordible

Having saved £20 per month regularly I have now accumilated £941.88 . . . this is an amazing amount that I wouln't have acheived without them, thank you very much, I highly recommend them, it's easy to save!! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Friendly, helpful and a wealth of knowledge

I have been with my credit union for almost a decade now and I have always found the staff to be supportive and kind. I am housebound so getting out to see them is really difficult. The staff are very conciderate of my needs and abilities and go out of their way to support me to use the service. I have recently set up funds for my two Granddaughters so that they can start the process of managing their finances in a healthy way and I trust the credit union to always be there to help should they ever get into difficulties. I really recommend everyone to obtain an account. The service and company ethos is excellent. Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

A brilliant community savings and loans co op

They respond when they say they will, are always helpful and offer good access via the new banking app Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

Awesome Customer Service

I have saved with the credit Union now for about 2 years. I have to say I have always been extremely impressed with the service and the response times. An example literally the other morning was I was looking at purchasing my new annual bus ticket and through the credit union you receive a discount. I emailed the team and asked what the price would be with the discount, this was at 8am, well in less than 5 minutes I had a reply and the transaction was completed. I think especially in the current climate what with Covid that is quite impressive but this customer service and the quality of it has been quite evident since I became a member. Just a big thank you to the team from Paul in Brighton. Reviewed on: 16th February 2021

Helpful benefit for account

I regularly save with them to build up savings for specific uses. Specifically I primary build up my savings in order to get a annual bus saver which can get a 20% discount on because members get a discount due to a deal between the East Sussex Credit Union and Brighton & Hove Buses, and that 20% is a couple hundred pounds difference.
