Your car failing its MOT, right before a big business trip or your boiler flooding your kitchen are just some of the nightmare scenarios that can leave you in a bit of a panic. When you need to pay for an emergency, despite having no cash to spare, then a £500 emergency loan can give you quick access to the money you need without having to mortgage any of your belongings or assets.

What can I use a £500 loan for?

A payday loan is designed for you to use in emergencies or desperate situations where you need cash quickly to keep your life running smoothly. This could include covering the cost of:

  • Your car needing repairs or an MOT
  • Your appliances breaking, such as your boiler or washing machine
  • Essential house repairs
  • Unexpected medical bills

Our short-term loan helps you bridge the gap when you’re running short on cash, so you can get financial support quickly and safely.

Can I get a £500 loan with bad credit?

Here at Moneyboat, we consider every application individually to assess your needs and whether we might be the right product for you. If you pass our checks and eligibility requirements, then we can offer you a £500 loan even with a poor credit score.

Our short-term loan can be a lifeline when you are in a desperate or emergency situation, but it may not be the solution you need right now if you are struggling with repaying debts. It’s best to try repairing your credit score and learning how to build a budget for yourself to help you avoid having to borrow in the future.

We carry out a credit check on every application, as regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority – there’s more information on what you can expect a credit check to bring up in our guide on 'How does a credit check work?'- however, this may not negatively affect your application if we find that you are still a suitable candidate for our loans.
