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

The staff are excellent and have always been supportive. I have only spoken to them a handful of times as most interaction takes place via their portal service but they offer clear and concise information and always seem to be understanding around delays in payment due to banking issues etc. many loan providers can come across as commission focused and out for the money from the moment there's a delay but the staff at Bamboo always seem to follow a high service standard and contact you to discuss your needs.

Very easy application - money arrived quickly - no hassle or unnecessary contact ie letters - once I paid it off they left me alone and no marketing which is amazing and quite rare these days. Overall - happy. When do I get my £1000 lol Reviewed on: 16th April 2024
