10/10!
Overall amazing! The contact and support team are very friendly and answer my questions quickly. They are really helping me out a lot with this finance scheme as I have a few difficulties with university. Highly recommend using smart pig if you have small difficulties too!

Trustworthy & Reliable
If you are going to go for a pay-day loan, would recommend this company. They are overall very sensible (e.g. limits of borrowing, detailed affordability/audit checks) and have helped me numerous times.

Very convenient and smart way of borrowing, I applied the same day and it only took a few minutes for them to approve my application after doing their checks. The money was in my account with minutes of being approved.
On the day of pay back, they took exactly the money they said they would take out of my account.
I would use their service again and also recommend it to fellow students.
Kind regards
