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

Bamboo were very easy to sort a loan with.

Bamboo were very easy to sort a loan with. They provided good pre contract information and discussed my circumstances and requirements before then ultimately offering me a loan. The service post loan has been effective when needed such as when I changed my bank account and needed to update details or if I need to manage or view on line Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

Highly recommended for fair rates and speed

I was looking for a straightforward loan process and Bamboo really delivered. The online application was intuitive and didn't take more than 10 minutes. I received an initial decision almost instantly, and the funds were in my account by the next business day. It’s rare to find a lender that values the customer’s time this much. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a quick, transparent service. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

I was so relaxed when speaking to an advisor sorting a loan out to help us move out! I never had to deal with this before. But they made me feel so at ease!! Nothing was too much of an issue and as soon as it was approved I recieved the money straight away! Would defo recommend Reviewed on: 27th February 2026
