Review of the Bamboo Loans, Personal loan:

Bamboo Loans: Excellent, Efficient & Easy Loan Provider

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

Bamboo have been a breath of fresh air

I recently took out a short-term loan with Bamboo and had a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. The application process was quick, straightforward, and completely transparent, which gave me real peace of mind when I needed it most. What stood out was the clear communication and professionalism throughout. Everything was explained properly, with no hidden surprises, and I always felt fully informed about my repayments and options. I was especially pleased to be offered an early settlement figure, which gave me added flexibility and control over my finances. It’s refreshing to deal with a lender that supports customers in managing their borrowing responsibly. Overall, an efficient, transparent, and supportive service that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

Nice and easy.

Nice and easy. Got my loan fast and they were great help. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

Initial and first scheduled payments are too close

First loan payment is just 2 weeks after the initial payment. They set loan payments at the beginning of the month instead of defaulting to a month after the initial payment is taken. For a weekly paid person, that's not helpful as we don't get a full month's income at the end of the month. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026
