Do you charge upfront fees for loans?

We do not. Bamboo does not charge any application or upfront fees for loans, nor do we deduct such fees from the loan advance.

Our borrowers receive the whole amount of the loan applied for. Before you take out the loan you will always know the interest rate and APR (this helps you compare our loan with other lenders)  and how much in total you will have to repay over the life of the loan.

Also, you should know Bamboo only works with credit brokers and intermediaries that do not charge you separately.

So with a Bamboo loan  you really will always know the total cost of the loan.

We are committed to simplifying financial jargon and with our loan calculator you can get an illustration of your monthly repayments based on a chosen loan amount and term. Eligibility for a loan will depend on your credit profile and our assessment of your ability to afford all repayments over the life of the loan.
