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 interest rate is a little high but I don’t have a fantastic credit report. Customer service is great, efficient and I can pay it off early if I want. Thanks. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024

Got accepted straight away, bamboo gave me an excellent interest rate and affordable monthly payments. I would highly recommend bamboo for anyone that is looking for an affordable and prompt loan. I applied in 10 minutes and i had got approved after 2 minutes of waiting and I received my money in bank after 40 minutes. I cannot believe how good this company is. It’s easy to apply and you get a fast decision. Money in the bank within a hour. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024
