Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I needed last minute help with a large payment, and didn't have the necessary identification to proceed, yet the staff at Cambrian didn't put me aside or turn me down, but instead walked me through every step needed to secure a payment. Emails and phone calls were answered either immediately or within an hour, advice was sound and current, and I had the same
personal agent work on my file with me through to completion. Really doesn't get any better. They even out-performed my bank!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really lovely lady Louise called me and helped me with my application. Really recommend becoming a member, I'm going to have a lovely Christmas for my daughter and family as they've helped me and my family out with a loan this year. Repayments are affordable. Don't fall victim to high interest lenders and apply with Cambrian, they are amazing.

Thank you Cambrian ❤️

Fabulous service, really took a weight off my mind to know I'm only paying one creditor now.
I had support from start to finish with very professional, friendly and efficient staff.
The applicatio
n was not too difficult and staff were on hand to help.

Credit union is a great place to start with your own family and friends to get help with your savings and for first time borrowing money. They are kind people who understands everyone's needs.

Credit union is a great place to start with your own family and friends to get help with your savings and for first time borrowing money and a lovely set of people who understands everyone's needs. I have been with Credit union for over ten years now and I have no trouble with them and they have helped me out a lot over the years.

After being with Cambrian for 2 years

After being with Cambrian for 2 years, I requested a loan top up which they had declined . Instead of looking at my current loan and that I’m on top of my payments each month never missed a payment very good customer and pay more to what I should be paying they declined going off the back of my recent credit rating where there was something on there which I’m not aware of which has since been rectified and have spoken to company in question . I Felt really upset the answer was simply no and no empathy , I had no email I had to follow up myself to what was going on with my application . Won’t be applying again . Felt like they do not look after long standing customers. Other than that other staff have been friendly and helpful Over the phone that’s why I’ve given 3 stars. Thanks

Reply from Cambrian Savings and Loans

Hi Natasha,

Thank you for your recent review.

We assess loans on ability and willingness to repay and as we are regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we must ensure that we complete several checks when we assess a loan therefore, although anyone can apply for a loan, not everyone is guaranteed a loan.

I am afraid we cannot comment on individual cases online but if you are unhappy about the decision made, please contact our office direct on 0333 2000 601, email info@cambriancu.com or find one of our branches at https://www.cambriancu.com/contact-us and they can discuss your application with you.

Regards
Cambrian Savings & Loans team

Great company

Great company. Gave me a loan when no one else would to help me buy a car with a good interest rate. This is my third loan I’ve had with them. Loan applications always processed very quickly. Louise who processed the loan was great. Definitely recommend them.
