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

Grateful for a lifeline!

My circumstances are such that borrowing money can be difficult but my bamboo experience has been second to none. Straightforward application and funds came through quickly. The only reason I wouldn't 100% recommend is purely because I wouldn't encourage anyone to get into debt but if needs must give them a go even if credit history is poor. Reviewed on: 18th April 2024

Good rates, even for bad credit rating

Needed a loan, my credit rating is below average. Rates were a bit high, but that was to be expected and was the best rate I could get. Reviewed on: 18th April 2024
