How does our Instant Loan work?

Designed for members who need quick access to cash, these loans are typically more affordable than payday loans or overdrafts, with no hidden fees or excessive interest. You don’t need perfect credit to apply, and decisions are made quickly and fairly, with your wellbeing in mind. Borrow between £1,000 and £10,000 at a representative APR of 31.8% and with repayment terms of up to 60 months. There are no set-up fees, hidden charges or penalties for repaying a loan early.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can borrow up to a maximum of £10,000.  Please note that because your savings will secure your loan, you will be unable to withdraw them until you have repaid your loan in full, or your savings balance exceeds your loan balance.

We conduct a credit search for every loan application. This helps us ensure responsible lending and safeguard the interests of the members who save with us. However, our approval decision is not based solely on your credit score. We also assess loan applications by considering factors such as income, expenses, debt level, and repayment capability.

Applying for a loan is easy with our convenient online application. To get started, use our loan calculator to select your desired amount. 

You can pay off your loan in full at any time with no early settlement penalties or other charges. Just give us a call on 0330 175 5555 and we can confirm the amount owing, which you can then pay by bank transfer or debit card payment.

We aim to get your decision as quickly as we can, with over a third of our applications receiving an instant decision it is often the same day, however it can take 2 to 3 days during our busiest periods, like Christmas, or if we’ve asked you to provide some additional information. You’ll receive texts and emails keeping you up to date with the progress of your loan, including if we need you to do anything, like send documents to us.

Your loan application will be automatically rejected If you have a recent County Court Judgement (CCJ), are bankrupt or have entered into any of the following: Trust Deed, Administration Order (AO), Debt Management Scheme (DAS), Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), or Debt Relief Order (DRO).

To ensure the loan is affordable for you, we will ask to view recent bank statements digitally via Open Banking. We’ll provide you with a secure link to send the information to us.

APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate, which refers to the overall cost of borrowing a loan. It includes the interest rate and any related fees. By using APR, you can easily compare different options and find the best deal for your needs.

We recommend looking beyond the headline interest rate advertised by other lenders. Instead, take a closer look at how much you’ll pay per month for the amount you want to borrow. This way, you can make a more informed decision.

When you pay-off your loan the same amount continues to be collected unless you instruct us otherwise. Any money not required to pay off your loan will automatically be paid into your savings account. You can withdraw any amount from your savings account, but please bear in mind that sometimes direct debit instructions cannot be stopped and at other times there will be a delay whist the debited amount clears in our bank.
