The difference between short loans and traditional loans

Short-term loans and traditional loans have some differences:

  • Loan Duration

    Short-term loans are repaid quickly, usually a few months to a year. Traditional loans take longer to pay off, often several years.

  • Loan Amount

    Short-term loans offer smaller amounts, ideal to pay off an unexpected bill. Traditional loans can be larger for things like buying a house or car.

  • Eligibility Criteria

    Short-term loans are easier to get if you have lower credit or limited credit history. Traditional loans need a higher credit score and more documents.

  • Application and Approval

    Short-term loans have a quicker process with money sent fast, usually the same day if approved before 3.30pm. Traditional loans take longer, with more paperwork and waiting for approval.

  • Interest Rates

    Short-term loans usually have higher interest rates because they are paid back faster and have more risk for lenders. Traditional loans often have lower rates, especially if they are secured with collateral.

Remember to think about your needs and situation before choosing between short-term loans and traditional loans.

Apply for short term loans with The One Stop Money Shop

When you apply with The One Stop Money Shop, you have control over your finances. You get to choose the amount you want to borrow, how long you want to borrow it, and even the date you want your monthly payments to be collected. Usually, this date aligns with your payday.

Our application is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes to complete. After you submit it, you’ll receive an instant decision, letting you know whether you’ve been provisionally approved.

Once we complete additional checks, we can fund your quick loan directly to your bank account in one lump sum. And because we’re a direct lender, there’s no need to worry about involving a middleman.

Why apply to a direct lender for a short term loan?

Short-term loans help you with unexpected expenses that come up suddenly, like a dental bill or car repairs. These loans provide financial assistance for necessary costs when you don’t have enough saved money.

At The One Stop Money Shop, we are a short-term loan direct lender, meaning no brokers or go-betweens are involved in the application process. If your application is approved, we will directly deposit the funds into your bank account. Rest assured that we keep all your information secure in our protected servers and never share your details without your permission.

Can I get a short-term loan with no credit checks?

While many customers hope to find short-term loans without credit checks, it’s rare. As a short-term lender authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we ensure that our loans won’t cause financial problems for our customers.

We conduct a credit check using information from one of the UK’s three leading credit reference agencies to meet this requirement. This check gives us real-time information about any outstanding loans or defaults.

We also perform affordability checks to determine if the loan amount is manageable based on your monthly income and expenses. Your ability to afford the repayments is just as important as your credit history. After all, your credit score only sometimes reflects how well you handle your finances. We can approve your loan application if you can comfortably repay without financial trouble.

For any further questions about the checks, we carry out, you can contact us here.

How long can I borrow for, with a short term loan?

We offer short-term loans that you can repay up to 24 months. However, you can choose shorter repayment periods of 6, 9, 12 or 18 months. And if you want, you can even pay back the loan early. This is a good option because it will cost you less overall since you’ll pay less interest. If you want to learn more, you can check out our 12-month loans.

The One Stop Money Shop transfers the loan funds directly into your bank account as a direct lender. You don’t have to go through any middlemen when it’s time to repay the loan. You have control over how long you want to borrow the money and can easily set up monthly repayments directly.

What Happens If You Cannot Repay Your Loan?

If you cannot repay your loan on time and know you’ll miss a payment, contacting our customer services team is essential. They’re here to help and can discuss different options with you. These options include giving you more time by delaying your payment or accepting a partial payment without hurting your credit score.

As an authorised lender regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we genuinely care about supporting our customers during difficult times.

Not repaying your loan or failing to contact our team can result in additional fees, such as late fees or daily interest, being added to your loan for the days it’s overdue.

Can I apply for a short-term loan with bad credit?

We can help customers with bad credit by offering them short-term loans. We consider other important factors like their monthly income and employment status. Our goal is to assist our customers and understand their situations.

If a customer can show that they are responsible with their finances and can repay the loan on time, we will do our best to provide them with a loan amount and repayment term that suits their needs.

If, for some reason, we are unable to offer a short-term loan for bad credit, we may, with your permission, suggest other similar partners who can assist you. Rest assured that we will never share your information without your explicit consent.
