Savvy

Savvy is a 2014 rebrand of Lightning Loans that itself previously went under the guise of Valour Loans. The background of the original brand is unknown, but the owner has been trading since 2003. This is the second company that has changed their identity in 2014 (with the other being Different Money that was a change from MyMate). This new service in focus at www.savvy.co.uk is specialised in loans over the period of 12 months. If an applicant successfully passes their credit check, but is counted as a risk then they will be offered a smaller 6 month term on more restricted cash sums of £100 to £300.

Quid @ www.quid.co.uk

Quid

The impressive Sunny.co.uk Loans brand receives plenty of praise from us. They of course had previously operated as 1 Month Loan who reached the market in 2004. Think Finance (UK) Ltd is the owner and they do in fact have a second service that not too many people may be familiar with. This is Quid that is served from www.quid.co.uk with the launch appearing to be sometime in 2012. This is a 12 month lender, but you can just settle after a single month. If you did this then you’d just have to pay 29% (£29 per £100) with no extra funding charge.

MyMate

Update: Lender Rebranded as Different Money.

MyMate was launched in 2013 at the vibrantly styled www.mymate.co.uk website. This brand is the creation of Matthew Sanders who has been very successful through the recruitment business (called de Poel). Soon after launch, additional short terms were available (7 to 31 days), but you can now only select between 2 and 12 months. The impressive sum range from £150 up to £2500 has remained in place. There are various term restrictions. For instance, the £1000 amount stops at the 6 month point (£1010 allows you to select 12 months). Cash limits could be imposed based on personal circumstances and there is a “Plan B” option in place.

Pounds to Pocket @ www.poundstopocket.co.uk

Pounds to Pocket

Cash America International’s QuickQuid Brand has certainly been one of their most valued assets to date, but this newer release (Pounds to Pocket) has enjoyed the same market traction since their launch back in 2010 at www.poundstopocket.co.uk. For large bad credit personal loan solutions before this time, you would typically have had to head to an Everyday Loans branch or perhaps pick a lender where a guarantor was required such as Amigo Loans (previously FLM). The problem with these choices was the delay in which the borrower could receive cash, although Amigo have since adapted their service to be fully online, although a guarantor must still be found.
