What is a Guarantor loan?

A Guarantor loan can help you gain access to the money you need even if you can't obtain credit in your name alone.

The idea is very simple.

A second person - typically a relative or good friend - agrees to be your Guarantor. They promise, should you ever fall behind with loan repayments, to personally cover them for you.

Because your Guarantor knows and trusts you - and has also agreed to cover any repayment shortfall - it's easier for us to lend.

Once there's a suitable Guarantor in the background, we can consider offering you the money you need - potentially anything up to £10,000.

How does it all work?

Our process is quick and easy. Once you and your Guarantor are approved, we'll transfer the money to you within 3 days.

How much can I borrow?

This depends both on your income and your Guarantor's situation, provided that you can each independently afford to cover the loan repayments, you can:

How much can I borrow?

Borrow between £500 and £10,000.

How long can I repay the loan over?

Make repayments over a 12 to 60 month term.

Who Can Be My Guarantor?

It can be a family member, friend or work colleague, but not your wife/husband. Aged 25-74 and with good credit history.

We also accept Guarantors who are homeowners, tenants or still live with their parents who have a good credit history. Provided you can each independently afford to cover the loan repayments, you can apply for a loan for up to £10,000.
