My loan has been approved. When will I receive my funds?

We know your loan is important to you, so we work hard to get it to you quickly! If your loan is approved on a business day, we will make payment to your bank on the same day.

The exact time that funds will become available to you will depend on your bank, but it should be within a few hours post approval!

We'll keep you updated on the status of your application by email and text, and you can also call our friendly customer team FREE on 0800 27 28 36 to discuss the status of your application.

All loan applications are subject to responsible lending inquiries.

Can I top-up my loan and borrow more money?

You sure can! 

Basically, a top-up is a new loan, just with a portion of the funds being used to settle your previous loan balance.

You just need to make sure the top-up is enough to clear your existing loan balance AND cover off what you need the new loan for.

The amount you can top-up by is dependent on your individual circumstances! Each top up request for additional funds is subject to a full credit assessment.

What we look at when we assess your top-up loan application:

  • You have a history of making payments on time on your current Flex Loan
  • That the new loan remains affordable and there has been no significant change in your circumstances including changes in income, expenses and other financial commitments
  • The new loan continues to meet your requirements and objectives
  • You have demonstrated good account behaviour reflecting a responsible borrower. This means your bank statements don't show:
    1. Reversals to other credit and/or utility providers
    2. Transfers and withdrawals causing reversals
    3. Problem gambling impacting your ability to meet payment obligations
Can I repay my loan early?

You can request an early repayment at any time at no extra cost or penalty!

Please call our repayments team FREE on 0800 27 28 36 before making an extra payment so we can provide you with the exact balance to pay and adjust your repayment schedule if necessary.
