Services
We're a direct lender who have built our business around helping people like you find an affordable loan that fits your credit situation. Our 80, UK-based staff are in Southampton, London and Caerphilly. Our service is trusted by over 150,000 customers and we're proud to have been voted Best Personal Loan Provider three years in a row at the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Consumer Credit Awards.
As an existing customer, you can apply for a top-up loan if you have been repaying your current Bamboo loan on time for at least 6 months. We will let you know once you become eligible to apply for a top-up loan via email and SMS. However, before you apply for a top-up loan, it is best that you stop and think if this is the best option for you as this might increase your indebtedness.
A Bamboo top-up loan is for existing Bamboo customers who would like to borrow some more money. If you are accepted, we will close your current loan and open a new loan for the extra cash and the amount needed to close the old loan. To make things simple, you will continue to have just one repayment with us every month.
A Bamboo repeat loan is for an existing customer who has finished paying off their first loan with us. It is done by taking out a new loan application and is processed just like any other loan. You decide how much you want to borrow, go through the application process and - if you're approved - get the money in your account.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties or find yourself affected by the ongoing crisis, it is important that you get in touch with us in good time. We will work with you to provide support tailored to your individual circumstances. Depending on your personal or household circumstances we have a number of different options available.

Their service is so fast and on point. Staff members spoken to are very professional and helpful. I have struggled to find help putting together my debts after an unexpected bill that I have to settle with my credit cards, not even my bank wanted to help despite knowing how much I earn . yes, their interest rate is high but that is due to my credit rate after spending years not working raising my children and have to make ends meet which was very difficult for me financially. as a result some bills went unpaid or late payments etc. Thank you to Bamboo , I am now free and might even pay my loan

Struggling with family issues led me into some late payments which were recorded by credit score agency's recent storms in autumn left me with storm damage. The insurance co I have used for the past 20 years sent assessors who advised the co not to proceed we subsequently discoverd the assessor firm had a reputation for declining legitimate claims. In need of a loan for repairs I aproached Bamboo yes the raits are high and care needs to be excersised but they came to the rescue

Phoned up last week for some advice regarding payments, got told someone would be in contact still waiting almost week later. Currently had my loan 3 years with 2 years left, wanted to know how I could save money/ how much I would have to pay a month if cleared within next 12 months no response!!!! The interest is absolutely ridiculous borrowed £6k almost £8500 interest added on top, would only recommend if no alternative option. Look elsewhere if possible!!!!

Always happy to help with others give me a hard time over past credit records. Always keep the account in good standing to ensure a quick no hassle application if I need it. Good to have Bamboo in my corner for those special purchases. Not the cheapest but if you have the ability to take advantage of the early repayment after a few installments it's pretty handy as a safety net and peace of mind.
