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

Using Bamboo loans has completely made a tricky situation easy. They are not the cheapest provider however they have a good application with clear transparency. Today was the final day I paid off my loan. Can’t fault the experience. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I have got my loan an year ago when a big bank refused to sanction a loan despite I had my salary account with them. Bamboo loans have had helped me at that time with a simple and straight forward process. Bamboo have had also supported in accepting a few delay payments during my personal challenges in making the repayment. I would strongly recommend Bamboo loans! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Easy process to complete and a quick response. You can track your payments on line, the site is easy to navigate. The interest rate is slightly higher than other loans which is something to bear in mind, but overall it does what it needs to. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
