£400 Loans with a Poor Credit History

If you are someone that has a low credit score, our £400 loans may be suitable for you. Whilst a guaranteed loan is sought by many in an emergency, our priority has always been ensuring our customers can make the best possible decision for their finances. Although we can look to help those with bad credit, we cannot guarantee approval for every application we receive.

Our focus is on whether you can sustainably afford the loan, so if we feel it will cause financial difficulty for you, then we will not be able to approve your loan request. However, if the loan is sustainable over a 3 – 6 month repayment term, even with a poor credit history that has left you with a low credit rating, we may be able to offer a loan suited to your finances.

Our instalment loans are unsecured, so you won’t have to provide a guarantor to secure the loan with a low credit score. We’ll carefully consider your finances, so if we approve your application, it means we are confident you can sustain the loan throughout the repayment term. Whilst our manual approval process may take slightly longer than other lenders, this ensures fair and responsible lending for you and a tailored loan to your budget.

Simple Application, Quick Decision

If a £400 cash loan will help you today, you’ll be pleased to know the process is both quick and straightforward. By meeting our eligibility criteria listed below, and having your necessary supporting documents ready, we can manually assess your application as quickly as possible. If we can provisionally approve your loan, we will provide you with your pre-contract information and loan agreement for careful review and signing. Simply electronically sign and send it back to us.

Once credit and affordability checks are complete, and if approved, we can then transfer the loan funds to your bank account on the same day where possible. As for repayments, we will set up a Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) to automatically deduct your scheduled payments on the due date from your bank account – all you need to do is ensure you have sufficient funds in your account before the due date.

Simple, tailored loans that are sustainable for you. That’s what makes us a £400 loan lender with a difference. Discover more about how it works, and start your application today.
