Thanks Smart Money Cymru!
I joined Smart Money Cymru last year, after doing some research on what a credit union was, and how they work. I'd been thinking for a while to move away from the high street banks, and look for a more ethical way to save money. What I really like about Smart Money Cymru is the fact that they genuinly want to help people in Wales with their money, and they want to help people understand money and feel more confident with it. I've found their social media has been a great source of information, and whenever I call the office - always speak to helpful staff. It's been great to see their dividend increase this year too, and I feel like I'm part of an exciting journey with this credit union - while being confident that my savings are safe, and not funding weapons!
(Note: I haven't used the loan service or Smart Goods, this review is for the Savings and customer service only).
Thanks Smart Money Cymru!

Perfect example of unethical banking
They will attract you through big promises and (fake) care for communities and individuals who lives in Wales.
But if you have been a UK resident for less than six years and your credit score is not brilliant - don't bother. They will take all the information from you and ask you to share even your bank statements in detail, they will scan you thoroughly and - reject you if you applied for the loan.
In short, they are not ethical, nor do they care about communities or are interested in helping people. They are not 'empowering' anyone else but themselves. They are just taking from the poor to help the rich with lower interest rates to get even richer. They are pushing people who need help deeper into debt.
Shameful. And sad.
Edit:
Regarding your answer, you can continue selling fairytales but not to me — no need to assure me of anything. I was rejected literally 10 minutes after submitting my application which is not enough time to even check my bank statements. So, you are a liar. The only thing you did was check my credit score, which is lower because I've been in Britain for less than six years. I certainly don't want to be your member after such an experience. As I wrote, you're helping rich people to become more prosperous, and that's all you do.

Hi Gala,
Thanks for taking the time to review Smart Money Cymru Community Bank. I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with the service you received.
I'd like to assure you that the team undertake a thorough assessment of any application that we receive to ensure that any loan issued is affordable and right for members. There are many things our Underwriters need to consider when assessing loan application and we do not look at how long a member has been a UK resident as part of this process. Also, I'd like to assure you SMCCB are committed to helping our local communities as far as possible. For example, any profit that is made by Smart Money Cymru is distributed amongst all of our members as a dividend.
I hope this has put your mind at ease that we take care when when making our assessments on loan applications. It would be great if you would be willing to discuss your thoughts with us over the phone, so we can discuss your account in more depth with you. You can reach us on option 1 via 02920 883751 should you wish to do so.
Kind Regards,
SMCCB

Very Disappointed 😞
I applied for a savings account and paid the £5 activation fee with my own debit card in my name. I received an email explaining that further ID checks were needed. I've lived at my address for 5 years and opened plenty of accounts at this address, I've never had to do this. If you look at their manual application, for an adult account stated on there as accepted ID it clearly says:
"Benefit entitlement letter (confirming benefit payable within 12 months) - Identity or Address"
I explained I had a letter notifying me of the carers allowance I receive to care for Mum but they said they would only accept this if it was within the last 3 months? You clearly say 12 months on your application.
In addition to this they wanted another two forms of address identification. I'm not applying for loan. I simply wanted to move my £60,000 inheritance from Dad from Celtic Credit Union to you because I wanted to support my local credit union just as Dad always did as I will be moving to Caerphilly soon.
Such a shame and a loss to the union. I will apply to another local union instead, hopefully they will appreciate my money 💰 with them.

Good Morning,
We're really sorry to hear you are unhappy with Smart Money Cymru Community Bank and would like to make it right.
When members open account with us, in order to comply with the strict Anti-Money Laundering regulations we adhere to, if we are unable to automatically validate your identity we will ask for further ID from you, which must be dated within the last 3 months to ensure validity.
Unfortunately, our physical application form does not reflect this change, so thank you for pointing this out for us. Our ID requirements are available to view on our website.
We would welcome talking to you in person about the issue you've had with your ID and how you can overcome this. Please give us a call on 02920 883751 where one of the team will be happy to help.
Thank you for reviewing our service.
Kind regards,
Terri

Been with these guys since 2016 and I've always had such a great experience with them. Extremely helpful and friendly! Being able to have a loan and save at the same time is a blessing itself. Once my loan is paid back I'll have a lovely amount of savings that I can either spend or I can keep saving. Its a very good investment as you're gaining even while paying off the loan. Top marks from me :D

Amazing customer service
I went to the office in Blackwood and I meet Carol and Esme.
I had a few questions and they were brilliant with the way they responded, they made sure I was happy with the answers given and understood what the next steps would be.
I couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you both for all your help.

Thank you smart money
Thank you smart money. I cannot fault the service I received from Abbie (Caerphilly branch). The application was easy step by step online, seconds after I submitted the application Abbie telephoned and explained the next step. Ten minutes later she called back to say my application was successful and that I would receive the funds the same day. Amazing service.

Saving & borrowing 5* service
I’ve been saving with SMU for over a year now and I’ve recently arranged some lending through them. Abbie was exceptionally professional, assessed my case taking into consideration all evidence supplied and turned my loan around within a couple of hours. I’m extremely grateful for the guidance SMU has provided me.
