Very very poor customer service. I’ve come here to see if they’re real and whether I just handed over all my personal details to a hacker.
Haven’t heard from anyone since I applied three days ago. Wondering if they’re doing something with our details.

Apologies for not coming back to you. We have received a huge amount of application over the long weekend and have been short staffed. Rest assured, all your personal information is safe on our system and is only referred when processing applications. If you can please contact on 0800 227 484, I will be happy to prioritise your application for you. Again, apologies for the poor communication.
Really poor service
Really poor service, took 2 days to respond to me and then didnt ask any questions about my complex situation, just another loan shark that i recommend everyone avoid. You're just a number and not really interested in helping the customer. There are friendlier options out there that are willing to listen, these guys arent them.

Thank you! Glad we could help :)
Much Appreciated
After hearing an ad on ZM, I was tempted to apply due to my current financial position/ situation. Although I wasn't overall positive to apply for a sort term loan ... desperate times calls for desperate measures ... so what the heck?!?! Nervously, I was super pleased with how simple the online application was. It was straight forward and very easy to follow. The instructions were clear to ensure both parties understood what was needed to complete the process. I am truly grateful and thankful for the fast and efficient service I was provided with. Definitely, highly recommended and will continue to use for future unexpected or unfortunate circumstances or for a particular something 🤔 Thank you for your patience and support. Appreciate your time and understanding. Awesome Experience. Keep up the good work.
