Simple, Fast, Affordable – Short Term Loans For Bad Credit

Having a low credit score shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the cash you need, as long as your current finances are in good shape. Your credit history, whilst showing the past, may not reflect the present when it comes to your finances. This is where a loan becomes possible at QuidMarket.

Many lenders will base their decision solely on your credit score and may decline you for their loan options straightaway. Here at QuidMarket, as a direct lender of short term loans, we’re happy to consider ‘bad’ credit scores for our direct lender loans. We understand that the number on your credit report doesn’t always reflect your finances right now. That’s why we look at whether you can afford the loan you’ve applied for – it is as simple as that!

By approving loans on an ‘affordability’ basis, we can provide our short term loans more confidently. If you have any questions about how our assessment process works for our loans, please get in touch with the team today.

FAQs

Yes, whilst many other short term loans direct lenders may not consider your loan application if you have a poor credit history, at QuidMarket, we are proud to consider short term loans for bad credit. We take a personal approach, rather than rely on computer approval like many other UK direct lenders. We’ll evaluate whether you can afford the loan with your current finances, looking at your income, regular outgoings, direct debits and living expenses. If you feel that you would find it difficult to make repayments in your current financial position, please seek advice and support before applying.

To qualify for our loans, you must meet the following:

  • Be between the ages of 23 and 65
  • Be a resident of the United Kingdom
  • Have a valid mobile number to receive text messages
  • Possess a current UK bank account with a valid debit card
  • Be employed and receive a take-home salary of at least £1,250 per month

Please note, that extra documentation may be required for the affordability checks. You will need to ensure you complete your application accurately with information about you and your finances, and not be in current financial difficulties. If our team cannot determine whether a short term loan will be affordable for you, they will have to decline.

Once you have completed our application form, our team of trained professionals will then process your application. We work quickly, so while we are unable to give a definite estimate, we aim to process all applications fast and have a decision within 2 hours to provide same day loans where possible. During busy periods this may take a little longer. Any applications received outside of business hours will be prioritised the next working day.

No, we do not charge any hidden fees and we pride ourselves on full transparency and being a direct lender that you can trust. Our application page is completely straightforward, allowing you to see how much you will repay each month on a short term loan from us. The total loan amount you will see is all that you have to pay with no hidden fees on top. We also do not charge for late payments either, unlike many other lenders, and our interest rate is competitive.

A direct lender loan is, as the name might suggest, a loan where the lender provides the money directly to the applicant without going through an intermediary. These types of loans can often be cheaper than broker loans by avoiding involving a third party which will usually mean being charged a broker fee.
