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

Excellent service all round

The application process with bamboo was quick and straightforward. Once approved the terms were clearly stated and was offered a very competitive rate based on my circumstances. Once I was happy with the terms and signed the agreement the money was in my account in a matter of minutes. A few months ago I had a minor change of circumstances, I phoned bamboo the customer service agent was very helpful, asked the right questioned and offered a very good short-term solution to help me get back on my feet. Definitely would recommend to those looking to borrow money in the short or long term. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023

The best thing about Bamboo Loans is that the information presented is always easy to understand and follow, and the whole loan process is streamlined. At no times did I feel like I don’t know what or how things will happen. Their online platform is easy to use as well. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023
