George Banco are fast becoming one of the leading lenders within this marketplace due to their excellent customer service.

Just look online and you will see a large number of very good reviews from happy customers, most of the comments focussing on the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.

This is very impressive considering the company was only formed in 2013; though Marc Howells and Geremy Thomas, CEOs of George Banco, both have highly proven business track records which have successfully been brought into George Banco.

Customer reviews do not lie, and from these alone, George Banco should definitely be a lender to consider.

    • My verdict of George Banco

    By Jon Edward

    Lender performance rating 72.5 out of 100

    George Banco is now one of the most established guarantor lenders in the UK, having built up a great deal of trust with over 4,000 mostly positive online customer reviews.

    Similarly, to Bamboo Loans, George Banco also offer a personal loan option, and will offer the best type of loan based on your own personal credit history.

    Put another way, if your credit rating is marginally imperfect, then you may qualify for the personal loan, but those with a poor credit history are more likely to be offered the guarantor loan.

    With their positive reviews and choice of loans, George Banco is a lender to be seriously considered.

    Loan Description

    George Banco’s loans range from £1,000 to £7,500, and their repayment periods are from one to five years. See our summary of some of their loans pros and cons:

    Pro's

    • Large number of positive online reviews
    • Pay-out is fast and same day
    • Add-ons and top ups are offered for timely repayments
    • Online account management
    • Tenant Guarantors are acceptable (or your guarantor does not need to be a homeowner)
    • It is an unsecured loan so neither your, or your guarantor’s, home is at risk.

    Con's

    • An administration fee is charged which is added to your loan
    • You need to have a monthly income after tax of more than £1,000.
    • A guarantor is required, and if you stop making the payment, they will need to step in
    • A fairly complicated application form (though if you go via our form, much will be pre-filled in for you)
    • Your guarantor needs to be over 25 years old at the time of the application

    The basics

    • You and your guarantor need to be residents of the UK
    • You will need a valid UK bank account and debit card
    • You need to be over 18.
    • Like with all loans, you have time to change your mind, so within 14 days of taking out the loan, you can return the loan amount and there are no fees to pay.
    • You cannot be insolvent, so not in a DMP (debt management plan), IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement), Trust Deed (for Scotland only), or bankrupt.
    George provide a solid loan offering and we have found them to be responsive and professional; though we would always suggest looking at the other options on the market before making a final decision:
