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

Straightforward process

Got the loan through ClearScore with the Triple Lock guarantee, given it is my first loan and not a very known company, so my APR is quite high but they are still very helpful. Managing your loan through the account has also been simplified, when repaying large amounts you do need to call if any credit has built up so the repayment plan gets reworked, and the helpline is very helpful.

Was given the loan that I asked for, with affordable repayments. You can also pay back before your dates and pay what you like and also pay back the entire loan early if required. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Bamboo loans was a very simple process, all done online, no phone calls, days of waiting for acceptance. Very highly recommend and interest rates are not ridiculous like some others I was looking at. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022
