Do You Use Credit Agencies Or Credit Scoring?
We will not perform a credit check. Lenders will complete a soft search when assessing your eligibility for a loan, if you accept a lender’s loan offer, they will perform a hard credit search
What Is a Soft Search?
There are two types of checks lenders can do when you apply for credit – hard and soft
– Soft credit checks don’t affect your credit score. These are usually used by lenders or comparison sites to check your eligibility before applying, to indicate if your application will be successful
– Hard credit checks could affect your credit score. These are used when you apply for credit and will show up on your credit report. Too many in a short space of time could negatively impact your credit score
Avoid making too many applications for products such as credit cards or loans
What Is a Hard Search?

A hard search is a type of credit check that happens when you apply for credit or a service that requires a credit agreement. It is a detailed look at your credit report and score by a potential lender or provider. A hard search leaves a mark on your credit report that other companies can see, and it may affect your credit score and your chances of getting approved for credit in the future

Is It Possible To Borrow Money to Pay Off Existing Debt?

You may be able to use a loan to clear other debts, but we strongly recommend that you think carefully about your situation and whether you can afford it. We also urge you to consider the long-term impact of your financial decisions

Do You Charge Any Fees for Your Service?

No, we never charge a fee, our system is free to use, we may recieve a very small commission from the lender if a loan application is successful

APR Explained
The term APR stands for annual percentage rate. It is used to help you understand what the total cost of borrowing would be over a year. It’s a way to show you the real cost of borrowing, including interest and any fees or charges
In general, the lower the APR, the better it is for you. This is because you pay less for borrowing overall. But it’s important to consider how long you’ll be borrowing for and how flexible the credit is too. Short-term loans are normally taken over a maximum term of 60 days, so APRs are not the best way to measure how competitive rates are. Our lenders prefer to focus on the amount you pay back in total rather than APR. If an APR is representative, that means the rate shown is what is being offered to most people who apply (at least 51%)
Can I Apply For A Loan If I Have Bad Credit?
Absolutely, many of our lenders will consider applicants with less than perfect credit histories
Can I Apply For A Loan If Im Unemployed?
Getting a loan may be difficult if you do not have a job. Many lenders will reject your application if you do not earn a regular income from work.

What Does Provisionally Approved Mean?

How Fast Can I Get My Money?
Times will vary based on the lender you have been matched to and the loan product type you are seeking. Using short-term loans as an example, in many cases loan decisions can take as little as 10 minutes. If your bank does support Faster Payments, funds will be sent to your account the same day as approval so long as you’re approved by 14:30
How Will I Get My Money?
It will be paid directly into your bank account
How Do I Pay Back My Loan?
The vast majority of loan repayments are automatically taken from your bank account on your pre-agreed repayment dates using continuous payment authority
What Are My Rights To Cancel?
