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

I had been refused by a couple of loan companies as my last resort I decided to try Bamboo. To my surprise everything went well and I was accepted for a loan of £ 2000 . I was amazed about the figure as it was my first time to apply as a poor credit scorer. The results were of acceptance through e-mail were the best thing that ever happened to me during a financial cripple. Bamboo is an extraordinary loan company. Incredible indeed.

Having a poor credit score had left me short of options for finding a loan. Bamboo stepped up to the mark and really did deliver. A pain free application made all the more better by not being made to feel ashamed for having a poor credit score. The process was really quick and i had my loan within 72 hours of making the initial application. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
