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. Guarantors must be at least 21 years old, and under 80 years old by the end of the loan term 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.
