While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Great service

From start to finish the process has been straightforward with plenty of friendly phone calls to explain every step. Every member of staff have made me feel at ease and listened. It has taken a few days for it all to go through but worth it in the end. Thank you so much

My role as a guarantor was fully explained.

My son arranged a loan and I have acted as guarantor. The process was straightforward and all the people I spoke to at the company were polite and explained the process clearly. They were concerned to establish that I was aware of my responsibilities as a guarantor and gave me every opportunity to ask questions.

Very quick and easy to use

Very quick and easy to use. All avenues covered to make sure you are who you are and can afford the repayments. Would recommend Buddy Loans to other family members and friends

Could not fault this Company

Could not fault this Company. Tried Amigo, desperately poor service (30mins hold queues, pedantic details, etc). Tried Buddy Loans, they were lightening fast, courteous, patient, didn't have major concerns and were equally quick paying out.. think it was around 30mins from final approval to money in the bank. Would highly recommend if I needed a loan again

Awful customer service..

Awful customer service, I couldn’t get past the first 3 mins of the call, the call centre operative was more concerned with why I needed the money, despite having filled that in their form, than affordability, guarantor etc. Told them to cancel and went to TrustTwo who were actually cheaper. If you want someone to speak to you like you are signing up for government benefits, they’re perfect!! Execept they are a business and need your custom to survive, someone might want to tell their operatives that.
