Review of the Hastings Direct, Personal Loans:

Easy, upfront loan agreement

5
I was pre-approved for this loan on a comparison site. I went through the application process and was offered the full amount and at the APR I was pre-approved for, which hadn't happened with other lenders. I was able to review the offer before accepting it, which again hadn't happened with other lenders and involved ringing them to cancel and return the money. I've logged into the 'My Loan' portal and it all looks very easy to navigate with options to make extra payments outside of the direct debit payments. I would only like to suggest they have a section to change the direct debit, as the account I needed the money in, isn't the one I want to repay the loan from. Reviewed on: 26th September 2024

Application process was easy, was able to sign documents online reducing the processing time, the money was in my account within a few days. Would highly recommend for a quick stress free process. Reviewed on: 19th July 2021

Excellent service

I’m currently building my credit file and previously only had offers for extortionate APRs, however, hastings offered a really good deal that would save me a lot of money each month by consolidating into just one payment. The process was quick, communication was thorough and the weight lifted off my shoulders is amazing. Thank you hastings! Reviewed on: 22nd June 2021

Easy to deal with and straight forward application process for me.

I applied via comparison website. Most of the data was carried over except a few things. The rate I was offered match what was on the comparison site, which doesn't always happen, but it should always happen to be honest. Seem fair and honest on this experience. Reviewed on: 21st June 2021

There when I needed them

The whole process from applying for a loan, being accepted and to the money being paid into my account was quick and efficient. I received emails to advise me of progress and my paper documents arrived at my home address within days. Hastings Direct came up trumps for me when even my own bank with which I have been a customer with for over 50 years saw my age as an insurmountable obstacle to helping in an hour of need. Good for you Hastings. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021
