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

Great Service, Great Offers & Trustworthy

I was in a position where i was finding it difficult to get credit but thankfully Bamboo Loans offered me the amount i required at a good rate (based on my credit score) They phoned me and asked questions to ensure i could afford the monthly repayments which you don't get with other companies.

Very disappointed and disatifatory. My loan deal was turned down as an existing customer and I still don't know why. After making a full loan payment I got harsh treatment. Reviewed on: 18th April 2024

Reply from Bamboo Loans Hi Joseph, Thank you for your feedback which we are sorry to read. Despite being a previously good customer of Bamboo, as part of our commitment to being a responsible lender, we still have to review multiple factors when assessing a new application and it is always subject to checks. We understand that it can be disappointing when you are declined for a loan, and we are sorry we were unable to help you. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0330 159 6010. Kind regards, Bamboo Response date: 18th April 2024
