Absolutely incredible! Honestly I first saw this company recommended to me via an advert ironically and was after a new type of product to use. I was absolutely blown away when I first used this the interface is absolutely incredible easy to use everything is in one place! The credit application is a very smooth process and yes it varies but I got £250 for my first credit. Highly recommend and have recommended to others. Customer service is outstanding. If you're wanting credit. USE THEM!

Waste of time went through the whole process, even having to send them tonnes of documents to prove identity, only to be told once the application was accepted that apparently I had rejected the credit agreement section for the first bit of the sign up when it tells you what limit you're eligible for. And once you've done that they won't let you re-apply....ever! So shut the account as it is now pointless....do not waste your time! Tymit is much much better!

Hi Daniel. We apologise for the difficulties you experienced while registering. In some cases, we’re obligated to request additional information during this process to make sure we meet all security criteria. As for your credit agreement - we are already working on a possibility to apply even if you decline your agreement at first.

Been with them 18 months or so...get an email, no warning telling me they're closing my account, a 'business decision' and i have to pay what's owed in the next 10 weeks or so! I'm well aware this company fell on difficult times, just like most people..payment in full will NOT happen in the next 10 weeks or so. They do give the option to extend this..which i will be using.. What a 💩 service..
What's new
We've made the application process quicker and easier. Hopefully we won't need to, but if we need to ask you for some more documents we can now do it all in the app.
