Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the application take?

It only takes five minutes from start to finish – this includes signing for your loan!


What do I have to do?

Complete our quick application online. If you are approved, you will be asked to complete your bank and debit card details and then sign your loan agreement. We will do the rest!


When will I receive my loan?

We will transfer the funds to your account on the same working day as your loan is completed. Please note that some banks take up 1 to 3 days for money transfers to clear. Charges may apply for guaranteed same day funding.*


How will I get my money?

It’s paid directly into your bank account so you can access it as you would normally take money from your account.


How do I pay back my loan?

Easy- we take the agreed repayment amount from your debit card on the agreed repayment date.


Can I defer my payment?

In certain circumstances we may allow you to defer payment by paying just the interest and it is mportant to understand that when you rollover your Instalment loan online you are not paying anything off the loan amount, simply rolling over your full repayment. This will mean you end up paying back more. Please ensure that you do not borrow more than you are able to pay back.


My payday or debit card details have changed

If your payday has changed, or you have a new debit card, please contact our customer services team on 08000124044 as soon as possible and they will make the necessary changes!

The Financial Ombudsman Service

Our aim is to resolve all complaints internally. However if you are not satisfied with our suggested resolution, or if eight weeks have passed since you first brought your complaint to our attention, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If you want the Financial Ombudsman Service to look into your complaint, you must contact them within six months of the date of any final response issued.


You can write to them at:


The Financial Ombudsman Service
South Quay Plaza
183 Marsh Wall
London
E14 9SR


Alternatively you can phone 0845 080 1800. Further helpful information can be obtained from visiting the Financial Ombudsman website on www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk.


Please note: if you contact the Financial Ombudsman prior to the eighth week, they will refer you back to us to handle the complaint in line with this procedure.


We hope that our service will remain good enough that you never need to complain but on the rare occasion it is necessary, you may also want to look here www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk for an online copy of the Financial Ombudsman's Consumer Leaflet.
