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

Better than other competitors!

I needed the funds to help with a project I was working on so bamboo came to the rescue after researching for different providers. Ironically bamboo offered me an interest rate better than my bank and also competitors which was very appealing. I’ve never had an issue so I cannot comment on customer service but when I first applied for my loan I got my funds the same day which is spectacular. The online portal is very simple and easy to navigate, it’s not complicated which is great for me as I have astigmatism. Bamboo also have an option to top up your loan if you want extra funds after you’ve paid x amount of months. You can also pay off the loan in full without a penalty which I find generous as some competitors charge a fee for paying early. TLDR: all in all im impressed with bamboo so far and never had any problems, interest rate is fair and you get paid within the day (usually) I’ll be sure to use bamboo again!
