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

Without a word of a lie, this company set up my personal loan in just a couple of days. Approved quickly and funds in my account at lightning speed. Very grateful and found the colleague I spoke to on the phone about a query, very helpful and knowledgeable. Reviewed on: 27th June 2023

Bamboo were exceptional to take a loan out with, their customer service team are friendly and helpful and rates at a decent percentage. They’ve recently helped me a lot due to a death I’m currently struggling with which had caused me to take some unexpected time off work, they’ve accommodated me and been so kind in helping me through my finances for this short period of time. Couldn’t recommend them more if you’re in a situation where you’re short of money. Reviewed on: 27th June 2023

I was in a position where I needed a short term loan and fast. Bambo provided a brilliant easy application process and I had the money I needed in my bank the same day. I would certainly use again if I was ever in need of another short term loan. Reviewed on: 27th June 2023
