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

I really like the autonomy of being able to over pay on my loan as and when I can via the account page, not having to ring and give notice or be penalised because I am making an overpayment like most companies do, I will be using bamboo again after my current loan is settled!

Bamboo..Real humans on the phone

My salary changed from monthly to weekly and Bamboo helped me by switching my payments to weekly. I can afford to pay a little bit more each week than needed so built up quite a bit of credit. They rang me to tell me, reworked my loan and saved me over £300 on interest. The agent said if I give permission next time it builds up credit they can rework the loan and reduce the term without having to bother me. No messing about with Bamboo they are really helpful.
