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

With a little reluctance to apply for a loan to cover my final payments for my daughter's wedding Bamboo gave me a full understanding of their service, I was impressed that they were transparent in their dealings and gave me time for reflection and time to ask questions and check authenticity of the realistic offer and terms. They had made good research that I was able to meet repayments according to my means and therefore not to find myself in debt, Communication was friendly and realistically, time was given for discussion and advice. Action was quick and clear with guidance throughout that was client friendly and personal. No pressure was given and adequate time to reflect and consider the application and friendly response to the questions asked which gave confidence in the expertise and professionalism of the company.to identify the risk factors for the client. taking on the responsibility of a loan.
