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

Very helpful

Has been very pleasant, when I got into financially difficulties and could no longer pay the required repayment the team at bamboo worked with me, showed customer care and understood my situation and help me to agree what was manageable for me and this has helped take some financial pressures off my shoulder. They have not just focused on getting the loan back but made sure other my financial priorities are also met before agreeing to take what I can afford. Reviewed on: 25th May 2024

Application process was easy and straightforward. Didn’t expect to be accepted as my credit score was not great, but that wasn’t the case when my application was accepted. I also appreciate the reminders days before payments are due to be collected. Reviewed on: 25th May 2024
