The application was simple qulck and easy the whole process only a few minutes I know all the information I submit is safe with westcountry s l as I have delt with them many times in the past.
The credit union are there & have supported me when hard to obtain credit.
They are actually preferable to other lenders, I believe. Nothing bad to say at all.
Found myself running short of funds halfway through a garden makeover and after a simple online process, they came through with a loan for me. Money is going in the bank the same day and I was surprised by how little interest I'm going to pay.
I would have given them 10 stars if I could have.
Great service they message you to download app which helps you get documents and signatures makes it quick as you can do it anywhere on mobile phone. Great company to borrow money
You just need to sign up. And some of the repayments go into your savings account. So once payment finished you can take out your savings or leave them there
Applied for a loan and was given one without no problems. Very friendly and efficient. Would recommend them to anyone
Really efficient, hassle free service. Encouraging better use of people's finances as well as assistance
Really helpful and pleasant people to advise you. I've been with them for a few years and never had a problem with anyone there or with getting help when I've needed it. Taught me a lot about being wiser with my money and I'm no longer in debt with anyone... Brilliant service I would recommend to anyone
I have always found West Country savings and loans very helpful ,the people u deal with r also.polite.i have been using them for a number of years now with great satisfaction
These people are fantastic. Low cost loans, repayments tailored around you, always there to help if you are struggling, seriously folks keep away from the loan sharks and doorstep lenders, let West Country Savings and Loans make your lives easier!!
Their savings facilities are great, prize draws on some of them too, I’ve just started a Prize Saver Account, a monthly draw with some great prizes, the main prize would take away my daily worries within seconds, what an incentive to put away a few spare pounds each week, everything they do for you is a win win.
I can honestly say I have never known such a trustworthy helpful caring team as these guys, they do exactly what it says on the tin
WCSL is always fair, fast and easy to deal with. They are loyal to their clients. They offer fair loans with a low apr and a great repayment plan.
Straight forward loan application, low intrest. And you save along with paying loan. Would highly recommend.
