At Lending Stream, you’ve got 6 months to pay back what you borrow. Our monthly repayments are designed to fit your financial situation, ensuring you can repay comfortably. We provide transparent information on the interest rate and the total repayment in your loan agreement.

If you want to repay your loan sooner, then that’s fine too! You can pay back as early as you want with no extra prepayment fees. Our loans are charged at a daily interest rate, and you’ll save money if you repay early.

What if my £500 loan application is rejected?

At Lending Stream, we don’t guarantee approval. We look at many different factors when you apply for a £500 loan. We approach each application separately, based on your ability to repay. We don’t want you to borrow money that you can’t afford to pay back.

Your application may be declined, even if you were accepted for a loan with us in the past. Our customer service representatives won’t have access to information about credit decisions. So, they won’t be able to tell why you weren’t approved.

If your application is rejected based on the information, we receive from one of the credit reference agencies then we’ll let you know the name of the credit reference agency by email. You can check your credit file with them directly.

  • Fast cash: If you have any unexpected expense or financial problem then a 500 pound loan can give you quick access to the money you need.
  • No collateral required: When you apply for a £500 loan, you don’t have to mortgage your house, cars, or any other assets.
  • You may be eligible for a £500 loan with bad credit: We will never pretend that your credit score isn’t important for us. But we do understand that your credit score doesn’t fully reflect your current situation which is why we consider all applications including those for bad credit loans.
  • Repay in affordable amounts: If you take out a £500 loan with Lending Stream, we’ll give you 6 months to pay back. Unlike a payday loan you don’t have to pay it all back in one go.

What is the disadvantage of a £500 loan?
