image

Fast Decisions and Ideal For Emergencies Apply in less than 5 minutes and get your money the same day* if you are approved. As a direct lender, we can release funds quickly when you need them, making them perfect for emergencies and important bills to pay.

Bad Credit ConsideredWe will consider all applications and this includes being able to offer loans for people with bad credit and CCJs, provided that you are employed and committed to repaying your loan on time each month - we will gladly consider your application.

Direct Lender For Over 18 Years We loan directly, with no brokers or middlemen and make all loan decisions independently. Our friendly UK team is on hand to help on the phone, with no call centres or long hold time and a wealth of knowledge and experience. Based in Yorkshire, we’ve been lending since 2005 and are an independent UK lender you can rely on.

We Are A Payday Loans Alternative

As we have been in the industry since 2002, we have seen first-hand the impact of payday loans on British consumers. Payday loans are usually repaid over 14 to 30 days and with high fees, this puts pressure on borrowers and often leads to revolving credit and a spiral of debt. We have responded with a more flexible instalment loan product that allows you to borrow the money you need for emergencies and expenses, whilst having the flexibility to repay at lower rates than payday lenders and after 6 to 24 months.

The most important thing is that you have stable employment and willingness to repay your loan on time and we will gladly consider your loan application.

As a direct lender, we make our own independent loan decisions and review each application based on your circumstances. Even if you’ve been refused elsewhere, apply today and we will be happy to review your lending application to see how we can help.

Do you charge any upfront fees?

How much can I borrow through The One Stop Money Shop?

Customers can apply to borrow between £400 and £2,500 and the amount you will be able to secure will be based on your income and affordability. 

How long does it take to receive the funds?

Successfully applicants can typically receive funds the same day, if a loan is fully approved before 3.30pm.  We have access to fast payment systems which means that funds can be sent via bank transfer to your account as soon as possible.  The only exception is if it is a weekend or bank holiday where customers may have to wait until the next working day for funding.  For more information, see quick loans.

Will applying for a short term loan affect my credit score?
