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

Reply from Bamboo Loans Hi Terence Thank you for your feedback which we are sorry to read. While you are still a valued customer of Bamboo, as part of our commitment to being a responsible lender, we are required to review multiple factors when assessing existing customers who are looking for additional funds and cannot rely on repayment history with us alone. We understand that this can be disappointing to be told that you were not even eligible to apply and we are sorry we are unable to help you on this occasion. If you have any further concerns, or require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0330 159 6013. Kind regards Bamboo Response date: 20th May 2024

The application process was clear and easy to complete. I really like the portal for see transactions and how much my loan balance is. It also shows how much interest rebate I'd get if I can pay off my loan earlier. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
