    Great service when I really needed it

    Reviewed by Kerrie

    I am very happy with my credit card and the service provided by the customer service and the local credit centre. Hunter United was very swift to return my money when the card was stolen and used by the thief when I was suffering from cancer in 2015. Thank you for the opportunity to thank Hunter United publicly.
