Saved me when I’ve needed it most!
Easy application and super useful, this has saved me afew times. With all the prices going up for bills (especially electric prices). It’s been a struggle to have enough money to do a food shop and even pay for my prescription which is something I can’t go without. Can’t say how helpful this has been to me!

Really quick and easy. Only thing is sometimes the date you request is rejected but you can always extend, so it’s fine just odd

I Can't Recommend Enough
Everything was really quick and easy to understand. Everyone I've had contact with has been really friendly and helpful. I'd genuinely recommend them as a lender which seems like it's actually just there to help rather than a predatory operation like so many others.

Quick and easy
Quick and easy, got my money the same time.
Little bit offended about the email asking me if I was in financial hardship and distress because I'd already used them "multiple times before"- once in 2017 and once at the beginning of the year- when I they had sent me an email saying I was eligible to apply again, so mixed messages but I get why it's done
