Friendly, local staff, always ready to help

I first found out about them over 10 years ago and immediately knew I wanted to be part of it. By becoming a member I know my savings are only going to directly help people and local enterprises in my own community.

I have regularly saved with Great Western Credit Union for over 10 years. It helps me budget and plan ahead for things like birthdays, Christmas and holidays. I like knowing my money is being well looked after, and staying local!

Rachael

I just think they are awesome! They are local, among the community they serve, easy to access, a sense of belonging, real as though they understood what life is like for the ordinary person and that is something one cannot buy!

Annette

It’s a huge relief to find a lender that doesn’t penalise you for having a limited credit file. It has had a significant positive impact on the well being of me and my family. 

Josephine

I was very surprised at how easy it was when I was accepted and it has now got my car back roadworthy and usable so I am double-ly happy. They offer a great service to the public at very reasonable interest rates.
