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

Leader in the market!

I remember seeing an advert on TV and I was thinking that's quite interesting, and one day I was in need so bamboo was a first choice and it turned out the policies, process and customer service were the best I have ever encountered. I would recommend Bamboo to everyone that would need help in any kind of circumstances as you will be overly impressed as I have. I don't ask anyone who reads this review to believe me but to go ahead and have their own personal experience by giving their fabulous staff a call and convince themselves. Bamboo is leading the market from my point of view comparing to others lending businesses. Thank you for your phenomenal service. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024
