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

Efficiency - Payment Holiday.

When I applied for a loan, the process was quite straight forward and not difficult to get a loan. I had something urgent to attend to and I was able to solve my issue because of the efficiency in processing my loan application by Bamboo Loans. Again later on, when I lost my job and could not pay the monthly instalment, I phoned in and spoke to a very polite and helpful member of staff who arranged for a convenient time that I would likely to be able to pay. I managed to resume my instalments as agreed. I was quite happy and satisfied with the treatment I received. I have recommend Bamboo Loans to my friends. I am happy to say I only have 3 instalments to complete my payments, I feel over the moon and if I had money I would have completed payment early. Well done. Reviewed on: 21st February 2025
