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

Easy to deal with.

I looked on the internet for a loan and came across Bamboo, I filled out a few forms and someone from their team called me. I provided them with the necessary paperwork and the funds were in my account almost immediately. I would definitely recommend them and most certainly use them again myself !!

Gives bad credit loans a good name

Simply put; I struggled out of bad debt, remained scared of my credit rating. Bamboo allowed me to get me back in the game - 200 point credit rating jump and approach my dad with a reasonable guarantor loan offer. Most importantly the discussions with me and my dad would be how I'd cope and I'm thinking about a mortgage now. Paying them back early is not a problem Reviewed on: 13th April 2017

I had a quick response to my application and once agreed a call from a friendly adviser to confirm and tell me what to do next and after the money was paid a follow up call to make the sure the payment date was good for me. Reviewed on: 13th April 2017
