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

Great short term loan

Initially I was concerned as the interest rate seemed high however an advisor assured me that if I made an extra one off payment towards my loan and then the loan term and interest will reduce, which it did. Very happy with Bamboo. The site and account section is super easy to navigate and will continue to use them if I need another loan. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023

Excellent service

Easy application process, constant assessment for affordability and ensuring you know what your s expected of you if you take out a loan. Also, reassurance if your circumstances change and you cannot afford the payments. There was no requirement to speak to anyone as everything was explained in the documents and prior to application. I would definitely use Bamboo again and certainly recommend them to friends and family. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023
