Bamboo Loans: Excellent, Efficient & Easy Loan Provider

5
Me and my partner had our wedding booked from last year however, after saving up we were hit with the news of expecting a baby (which comes with its additional costs). As a result we were in need of some extra cash to help pay off some things for the wedding and after a few searches and a referral I came across Bamboo Loans. The application process was really QUICK, no time wasting with a user friendly website. Within JUST a FEW MINUTES I received an approval email and CONFIRMATION asking me to log in to sign the agreement. The agreement was clearly written with the APR rate and repayment schedule etc. and was able to sign this all electronically! (No stress of having to print, sign and rescan back in... phew!) Once completed I then received a email confirming PAYOUT by 1pm the next day! It was such a stress free process and since making monthly payments I have received reminders by text and email and have also spoken with the bamboo team directly on the phone who are also very helpful offering ongoing support. I didn’t have the greatest credit when I applied but good income and history of making repayments however, they also offer a guarantor loan service for bad credit. Even better... I managed to get a NON GUARANTOR loan which was even better for me! I would certainly recommend BAMBOO Loans :) Reviewed on: 16th June 2020

Got approved for a loan even though my credit was bad and the money was in my bank within 20 minutes of accepting the loan. The application process is quite simple and straightforward. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

After a few years of my credit rating taking a tanking I was accepted by Bamboo loans. Ever since I have kept my regular payments and now my rating is soaring. I again needed money towards a holiday and applied for another loan which was super easy and accepted in minutes. Never have a problem with them, they are straight down the middle, documentation is simple to understand and payout is made in minutes. Would recommend Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

The application for the loan was straight forward and easy. Customer service is excellent and easily accessible. The interest is ok, highly doubt you will find any lower anywhere else. Wish they had an app, I can't seem to find one for android. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022
