    Flexible payments & terms

    When lending short term loans we are committed to providing a personal, discreet and transparent credit service. This includes being a responsible lender and carrying out the right credit checks when you apply to make sure you can afford to repay your loan, helping to protect your credit record.

    Although convenient, payday loans are not suitable as a long term financial solution. We will always let you know what you will need to pay us and when, before you make a decision to borrow from us and throughout your time as a customer with us. As we provide loans directly to our customers, avoiding brokers, we have full control of the lending process.

    New customers can borrow from £200 to £800. Loans are repayable over a minimum of 2 instalments - up to a maximum of 6 months. This means you don’t have to repay the entire balance of your loan on your next payday. The minimum duration for the first instalment is five days.

    Existing customers can borrow up to £1,500, subject to passing our credit and affordability checks. We do not require full repayment in 60 days, however, customers may pay back their loans early with no penalties or fees.

    The interest charged on our loans is 0.79% per day (maximum APR 1,267.9%) and is only calculated on the outstanding balance.

    Do payday loans affect your credit score

    Do payday loans appear on a credit report?

    Yes. Any credit that you take out, including payday loans, will appear on your credit record.

    Do payday loans hurt your credit score?

    Payday loans can appear on your credit score as an advance against wages, which can be viewed negatively.

    Can I still get a payday loan if I have a bad credit history?

    It all depends on how bad it is. We tend to always reject applications from those who have serious debt problems on their credit files, such as CCJs and bankruptcies. However, if your score is just OK, we’ll look at other factors, such as your income and outgoings, to assess whether you can afford to take our short-term loans.

      Direct lender loans are not the same as broker loans, as the whole process from application to repayment is handled by the same provider. A direct lender will therefore have all of your information to hand to answer any questions you may have and resolve any issues directly and efficiently.

      Direct lenders are also able to offer flexible repayment plans and work with you collaboratively, rather than simply brokering a deal on behalf of an external lender. This means that the application process is faster and you could be approved in a few hours as all decisions are made by one company.

      Brokers are reliant on a third party, so the time from your application being approved to the funds being deposited can be considerably longer. It's important to check how the company identifies itself, as brokers can often present themselves as a ‘loan providing service’. Moneyboat customers will always receive a clear repayment schedule and enjoy a transparent and fair lending experience from us, as responsible UK direct lenders.
