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
