loanfriend.co.uk is a broker, not a lender, and works with an exclusive range of lenders in return for a commission fee. We don’t directly offer loans. We allow customers to access our network of UK short term and installment lenders through our online form. We match customers with lenders in our network.

Our panel of lenders can offer you between £100 - £5000.

The online application takes a few minutes to complete. loanfriend.co.uk will then run your application through our network of lenders in an attempt to match you with a qualified lender. This process takes minutes. If your application is accepted, you will be forwarded to the lender’s completion page so that you can sign for your loan electronically.

Your funds will be transferred electronically into the bank account you have provided in your application.

In most cases, if you are accepted by a lender, the transfer into your bank account could happen as early as the next business day. This will vary depending upon your lender as well as your financial institution. If you have additional questions regarding the transfer time, please contact your lender.

The eligibility criteria varies by lender. There are, however, standard criteria requirements that you will be expected to meet in order to apply. This includes the fact that you must be aged 18 years or older, live in the UK, have an active bank account into which you can receive direct debits and have a regular source of income.

We require your personal information in order to present your application to our lenders so they can assist you by providing you a loan. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details about how we use your personal information.

We may receive commission or referral fees from third-party lenders, brokers, or finance providers when introducing customers to them. We may be paid either for referring a lead or enquiry, or where you proceed to enter into a credit agreement with a lender or provider. The amount payable may vary depending on the lender, broker, finance provider, product, or commercial arrangement in place. The commission received may be either a fixed fee of up to £70 or a commission of up to 10% of the amount borrowed. These payments reflect commercial agreements between us and the provider and do not represent a fee charged directly to you or increase the cost of your agreement. We provide access to products from a panel of lenders and providers and not the whole market. Whilst commission arrangements form part of our commercial relationships, they do not determine which products are displayed to you within our available panel. You have the right to request further information about any commission or referral fee we may receive.
