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

I received a fantastic service from Bamboo there when I needed them, all information transparent and easy to understand. Repaying my Loan back early was not a problem and completed as quickly as when applying & being accepted for a Loan I would definitely use again in the future and recommend to family and friends.

Easy to apply and once accepted the money was in my bank account in minutes. My account on the website very easy to access with all the information needed. Summary, transactions and such. Liked the fact that the my account also provided the early settlement figure updated every month, rather that having to request it and wait to receive it. I could always keep an eye until i was able to settle. All information was at hand. No hidden costs and a great experience overall. Thank you Reviewed on: 26th June 2023
