What can I use an emergency loan for?

You can't always plan for every unexpected expense you may face, and even when you try, sometimes you might have to pay more than you had planned. In any case, we understand how stressful it is when you need cash in an emergency. Our payday loan can be used as an emergency loan which can be taken for a short period to help you pay for an unexpected expense that can’t wait until payday.

Many of our customers need cash to pay for essential costs, like car maintenance, fixing their washing machine or paying dentist bills, for example. These types of loans are also sometimes called payday loans or instant loans as they typically provide a way of getting access to cash quickly, once you’ve been approved.

Representative Example: Borrow £400 for 4 months, 4 monthly repayments of £149.37. Total repayment £597.48, interest rate p.a. (fixed) 255.5%. Representative APR 939.5%.

Can I get an emergency loan with bad credit?

For our Payday loan, we offer a human approach to lending and will always keep an open mind when assessing your application for an emergency loan with bad credit - even if your credit record isn’t strong enough for a credit card or a bank loan. We will look at factors like income and outgoings to help us make up our minds, as opposed to just focusing on credit scores.

However, if you have CCJs or bankruptcy on your record, we might not be able to offer you an urgent loan. We have a minimum level of requirements that we need all our clients to meet before we can offer them our product:

  • You must be at least 18 years old

  • You must be in full or part-time employment

  • You must receive a minimum net pay of £1000 per month

  • You must be a holder of a UK bank account and debit card

Is coming to Moneyboat for an emergency loan right for me?

When you’re looking for a loan, consider the following:

  • What do you need the money for?

  • How long do you need to borrow money?

  • How much do you need to borrow?

  • What is your credit rating like?

  • What can you afford to repay?

  • How much income do you have coming in?

  • What are your outgoings?

  • How do you want to repay your loan?


If you can answer all of these questions, then you might find that an emergency loan is the right choice for you right now – you might also want to explore some payday loan alternatives if a short-term loan doesn’t feel like the right solution for you.
