Direct loans
What are direct loans?
Direct loans are loans provided by a direct lender.
A direct lender is an independent financial company who will deal with a borrower in person; there is no third party involved, such as a bank or broker.
This means that when borrowers apply for direct loans, they only need to have contact with the direct lender, and will get a loan decision straight from them.
Is a direct loan safe?
Yes. As long as your lender is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, which Loans 2 Go is, you are protected. When looking at lenders offering direct loans, always check this.
Also, if you do use a third party to find you a loan, you will then have to pay that company for doing so. So your loan is likely to be more expensive.
What are the advantages of direct loans?
There are many circumstances when you may need financial help. For example, if you are facing an unexpected bill, a car or appliance breakdown, or some kind of family emergency a loan could be the ideal solution to meet your financial need.
The advantage of direct loans is that, because you deal directly with the lender, you are likely to receive your money much faster than if you go through a bank or broker.
So if you are facing a difficult financial situation and need money fast, finding a direct lender who offers direct loans could be the answer.
What is the eligibility for Loans 2 Go direct loans?
There are four main eligibility criteria for our direct loans. You need to be:
- Resident in the UK, either as a homeowner, tenant, or living with your parents;
- At least 21 years old;
- Currently employed with a regular income;
- The holder of a UK bank account and debit card.
Many applicants for direct loans worry in case their credit score is not good enough to be accepted for a loan. As a responsible lender, we do need to ensure that the loan is affordable for you. But if this is the case, we will still consider lending to you if you have poor credit history or even a CCJ.
Does Loans 2 Go offer direct loans?
Yes. We offer direct loans between £250 and £2,000.
If you take out one of our direct loans, the standard repayment period is either 18 or 24 months depending on the loan amount.
You can choose whether to make repayments on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, and can pay us either by Continuous Payment Authority from your debit card or by using our online payment portal.
We do not charge for setting up direct loans, and there is also no charge if you decide to repay all or part of your loan early.
