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

Website very easy , the main thing for me is went onto weekly pay couple of years ago and the site allows me to make early payments each week without calling , so budgeting has been far less stressful Reviewed on: 6th February 2026

Happy customer

I took out a loan to consolidate debts in order to help me secure a mortgage on my home. I wanted to make overpayments and so I called Bamboo customer services team who were very helpful, friendly and took the time to explain the process to me. Their support helped me understand how I can manage my loan better. I also like that I'm able to conveniently manage my loan online; I use the site to make payments or just check the balance. The website is easy to navigate and has a nice layout. I'm managing my loan and am very happy with the service. Overall, I'm a happy customer and would recommend Bamboo.
