Are credit unions & building societies better than banks?
As with choosing any bank account or financial product it pays to look around and find the best product that suits you. Credit unions and building societies won’t be for everyone, but they’re certainly worth checking out, especially given independent ratings and customer satisfaction reviews. You may feel that you are getting a more personalised service at a credit union or building society than you would at one of the large national banks. If this is important to you, it’s reassuring to know that an alternative is available.
