How it works
With our lenders’ loans you need a guarantor, a friend or family member who trusts you and will back your loan application.
This is commonly called “trust based lending”; with the view that if your guarantor trusts you enough to support your application then the lenders will too.
This gives you access to much cheaper options with 39.9% - 54.9% representative APR loans* compared to 272% - 1,575% for doorstep, instalment and payday loans.
You also have access to much larger loans up to £15,000, which is significantly more than the maximum £3,000 you typically could have access to.
