What Are Easy Loans?

Easy loans are short term loans designed to provide quick, straightforward access to money when you need it most. These loans offer easy access to funds, allowing borrowers to conveniently and quick to obtain the money they require. They are called “easy” because the application process is simple, decisions are fast, and funds are often available on the same day.

With Fast Loan UK, new customers can borrow up to £800 over a maximum period of up to 8 months, while returning customers can borrow up to £2,000 over a maximum period of 12 months.

How It Works

How Do Quick and Easy Loans Work?

Quick and easy loans work by cutting out unnecessary steps. Instead of lengthy paperwork or in-person appointments, you apply online in just a few minutes. You can apply for a loan through a simple online process, and our loan application forms are designed to be straightforward and secure. As part of the process, a soft search is performed initially, which does not affect your credit file. We’ll assess your income, affordability, and repayment ability, and check if you are eligible for the loan. We offer fast approval loans, so you get a decision almost instantly.

Once your application is accepted, you can choose to accept the loan offer. Your loan breakdown will be clearly displayed prior to accepting the loan, so you will have a clear breakdown of the total amount repayable over the loan term.

After approval, money is transferred directly into your account, sometimes within hours. Your first payment is typically due about a month after signing the agreement, and your monthly repayment is usually collected via a continuous payment authority (CPA) on your bank account on the agreed repayment date. Payment flexibility and support for same day loans are available to every customer, making paying back your loan straightforward. In some cases, the process may take a bit longer depending on your circumstances.

Flexible Loan Amounts & Repayments

The reason a payday loan with us can work for you is that we don’t expect you to pay back in one lump sum payment. Unlike traditional payday loans, we provide you with more control over when you make repayments. You still have the option of a 1 month loan, but you can choose up to 8 months as a new customer, and up to 12 months as a returning customer.

You can also choose from a range of loan amounts, whether you need a £100 loan or a larger amount. You can choose up to £800 with your first loan with us, and a maximum of £2,000 as a returning customer, as long as your first loan is repaid in full.

By offering clear loan amounts and repayment options upfront, we aim to make short-term borrowing more predictable and easier to manage.

It’s our responsibility to ensure that a loan is affordable for you and can be maintained. As a trusted payday loans direct lender, we follow responsible lending guidelines to ensure credit and affordability checks are performed to understand your current finances and credit history.

We won’t approve payday loans for everyone, but this isn’t based just on your credit score. We look at the whole picture of your finances to determine if the repayments you’ve chosen are realistic, and that the loan won’t cause further financial difficulty. If a payday loan is sustainable for you, no matter your credit history, we will look to help.

You will be shown the full cost of the loan, repayment schedule, and key terms before you sign your agreement, allowing you to make an informed decision. It’s this transparency and approach that make our payday loans helpful when you need them.

We need to ensure a payday loan is suitable for you, so you will need to meet the following requirements to apply today:

  • You’re aged 18 years or over.
  • You’re a current UK resident.
  • You receive a regular income from full or part-time employment.
  • You have a valid bank account and debit card.

Once you choose an amount and repayment term, the application process moves quickly. We’ve specifically designed how it works to ensure that whether you’re a new or returning customer, everything is kept simple and easy to follow.

The application normally takes just 5 minutes to complete, and we’ll review this information to give you a decision in just a few minutes. We’ll perform a soft check of your credit file to determine if we can continue, and if so, we’ll go through credit and affordability checks. This will involve a hard search, which will show on your credit file, and an assessment of your income and essential outgoings.

If approved for a UK payday loan with us, you’ll be sent your digital loan agreement to sign, and then the funds will be transferred to your bank account. If your bank supports Faster Payments, you funds will be deposited quicker and often within 15 minutes.

Can I Get an Easy Loan With Bad Credit?

Yes, it’s possible to get an easy loan even if you have a low credit score. While a poor credit history can reduce your choices, even those with a bad credit history may still have options for easy loans, as we specialise in helping people with past credit problems. We focus on whether you can afford repayments today rather than only looking at your past. You could be offered low credit score loans, even if you have been turned down for loans elsewhere.

Interest Rates and Fees for Easy Loans

When considering easy loans, it’s important to understand how interest rates and fees can affect the total cost of borrowing. Personal loans often come with fixed interest rates, which means your monthly repayments stay the same throughout the loan term. These rates can vary depending on your credit score and the loan amount.

Payday loans and bad credit loans usually have higher interest rates, due to the increased risk for the lender. In addition to interest, you may encounter other fees, such as late repayment charges, origination fees, or early repayment charges if you want to pay off your loan early. At Fast Loan UK, we don’t charge late fees and your cost breakdown is clear prior to your accepting your loan agreement. Before signing any loan agreement, always review the terms carefully to check that you can afford the repayments.

Why Choose Easy Loans from Fast Loan UK?

Easy loans in the UK are popular because they remove the stress often linked with borrowing. With a fast online application, minimal paperwork, and quick payouts, they’re designed to help people manage unexpected financial challenges without added hassle.

At Fast Loan UK, we make borrowing straightforward. As a direct lender, we provide clarity on repayments, avoid hidden fees, and offer fair assessments.

Understanding Loan Security

Loan security is an important factor to consider when choosing between different types of loans. Unsecured loans, such as personal loans and payday loans, do not require you to provide any collateral, making them accessible for many borrowers, including those with poor credit history.

Secured loans can offer lower interest rates, but they come with the risk of losing your asset if you fail to keep up with repayments. Always read the loan agreement carefully to understand your obligations and any potential fees. If you’re unsure about the terms or whether you need to provide security, consider seeking expert advice to ensure you make the right choice for your financial situation.

Expert Loan Advice for Borrowers

Getting expert advice can make a big difference when you’re considering a personal loan or any other type of easy loan. Start by using a personal loan calculator to work out the total cost of borrowing and your monthly repayments. Take a close look at your credit score and financial history, as these will affect your loan eligibility.

By carefully considering your monthly income, expenses, and repayment terms, you can avoid unnecessary debt and find a loan that fits your needs. If you’re ever unsure, don’t hesitate to seek professional advice to help you make the best borrowing decision for your circumstances.
