Had a very good experience with bamboo loans nothing was to much for the customer advisor and getting the loan was an absolute breeze this is my second loan now with bamboo and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 18th April 2025

Speedy, quick and simple

Very speedy process from getting accepted to receiving the loan money. Everything about the application was straight forward, quick and simple. I have had no issues at all with Bamboo and highly recommend them. The loan was absolutely vital to me and has allowed me to consolidate and manage my money effectively. Without this to keep me on track, i would not be in such a strong position that i am now. The online system is great for me to easily track where i am with the loan. Reviewed on: 18th April 2025
