Review of the Sainsburys Bank, Personal Loan:

Easy application and helpful customer service

I applied for a Sainsbury's loan and the process was very easy - they were readily available to speak to me on the phone and organise everything. I applied for the loan and was able to receive the money within a matter of days. Reviewed on: 29th April 2020

Slowest loan on the planet

In this digital age, with excellent credit rating youâ€™d expect to apply and get your money within a working week. Not at Sainsburyâ€™s. I really wish I could go elsewhere but Iâ€™m stuck waiting to get the money for nearly 2 weeks unless I want my credit rating to take a big hit. Not impressed. Reviewed on: 25th May 2018

Value!

I have had several loans from Sainsburys Bank, always a straightforward process and a good experience even where making early settlements Reviewed on: 5th January 2018

Worst Bank experience ever!

The worst service I have ever had from a bank! I applied for a loan online on a Friday which was immediately approved in principle. I was slightly disappointed that they needed to post out documents (supposedly first class) to me to sign and I had to return them for me to receive the loan. On Saturday I received another email stating that they could not offer me the advertised 2.7% APR rate but my offered rate would be in the documents they had posted. Once I returned the documents they would process the loan and the money would be in my account in 3 – 5 working days. So much for instant online trading. Nothing arrived in the post on Saturday, Monday or Tuesday however I received an email on Tuesday stating they needed more information in order to process the loan. I rang the number provided to be told the loan was with underwriting as I was self employed. I was eventually told I had been declined, even though I have a credit score of 999 and have never defaulted on anything in my life! I only picked Sainsburys as they had the lowest rate on Money Saving Expert who I trust. I will be going to a proper bank now instead of cowboys who should stick to selling bread.

Old school loan

My loan with Sainsbury's was at a fantastic rate, so really chuffed with that. But setting up was a little more daffy than I'd have liked, and involved confusingly worded emails and posted letters. It all felt a bit old school waiting for things in the post. Emails looked basic which always makes me question the validity of the sender in this world of identity fraud. Reviewed on: 1st July 2017

Easy to apply

Great rates, easy application, quick cash transfer Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Cheapest rate and no drama. Recomended

As title suggests. Easy quick and cheapest rate Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Poor slow service

Applied for a loan three weeks later advised that they were thinking about it and then they tell you can't have the advertised rate, I have a perfect credit history and believe that they pull you in with the offer of something they won't deliver so that they can get more out of you with a higher rate Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Easy as that

Large loan approved with no hassle with small interest rate and repayments Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Great service

Great service and very friendly. Would recommend Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
