How it works

Three steps, plain and simple. If a loan isn't right for you, we'll tell you — responsible lending is the whole point.

1

Get in touch

Call or email us and tell us what you need. We'll take a few details and check the loan is affordable for you — it's a legal requirement, and it protects you too.

2

Get a clear answer

We'll explain exactly what you'd repay, week by week, and the total cost — in writing, before you agree to anything.

3

Pay weekly

Fixed weekly payments over 30 weeks by debit card. Pay off early whenever you like. If you ever struggle, talk to us straight away — we're local, and we'll listen.

Can I apply?

We're a responsible lender, so we're up front about who we can lend to. It saves everyone's time — and your credit file.

Applications are subject to an affordability assessment. If you miss a repayment we must report it to credit reference agencies, which may affect your credit rating. Our loans are for short-term use only.
