Company mission

To help customers the high street banks are unable to help.

Our take

Getting a loan can usually feel confusing, slow, and just plain stressful. Many people find themselves stuck between unclear terms, hidden fees, and lenders who don't take the time to understand their situation. Bamboo wants to change this, with the aim of making borrowing more human.

Its a direct lender that's all about keeping things straightforward and supportive. Its online application makes things easy, with no hidden fees or pressure. Users can check a personalised quote without affecting their credit score - and meet Boo the Panda, a helpful online guide who's there to answer common questions. The platform offers flexible loans from £2,000 to £15,000, making it an ideal solution for many.

And it's seeing success too, having helped over 150,000 people so far. Alongside this, it's picked up multiple awards, including five wins for 'Best Personal Loan Provider'. With this solid foundation, Bamboo is set to continue growing while sticking to what matters most: helping people feel confident about their money.
