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

The process from application to payment was simple and well explained. Charging repayments to a card rather than a direct debit is a great idea because it means I always know exactly when the payment will go out. I’ve had issues with direct debits going early/ late if the payment date falls on a non working day, not with Bamboo Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

My application was quick and easy, with excellent communication from the start. Everything was explained in detail so I had no questions unanswered. Throughout my repayment process I still receive efficient communication on next payment dates and any updates to my account. Would definitely recommend bamboo Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

They help when others cannot.

Having had a rocky credit history over recent years, I found myself debt free and ready to rebuild my credit. Despite having a job and regular income, low outgoings and a fair credit rating, no other banks would help with a loan. Until Bamboo. Thanks guys. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022
