Is a quick loan the right option for me?

Just because a loan is quick doesn’t mean it’s always the right choice. Urgent costs often need resolving fast, but it’s important to consider whether short-term borrowing is the right path for you.

Our Moneyboat loans are available as an emergency alternative to rainy day funds if you need temporary financial relief. Short-term lending can offer fast and convenient cash, but it also includes a daily interest fee due to shorter repayment periods. Short-term loans shouldn’t be used to pay for everyday expenses.

If you’re not 100% confident that you can cover your monthly loan repayments comfortably, borrowing could add further strain to your finances. We always put our customers first, meaning we check your affordability as well as your eligibility before approving funds.

Quick loan FAQs

What is a quick loan?

Quick loans are another name for short-term loans, which you borrow once, and then repay over a number of instalments until the loan is cleared. If you’re approved and pass all our credit checks, the funds could be in your bank account in a matter of hours.

Are there fees to apply for a quick loan from Moneyboat?

There are no application or broker fees when you apply for a quick short-term loan from Moneyboat. Our only fees include:

  • Daily interest fee of 0.79% on your remaining loan amount
  • One-time missed repayment fee of £15 if you don’t repay within three days of the agreed repayment date

What happens if I miss a repayment for my loan?

You may be charged a missed repayment penalty if you don’t resolve unpaid instalments by the terms set. Get in touch with us immediately if you think you might miss a repayment.

Missed repayments can negatively impact your credit report for up to six years. This can affect your future borrowing eligibility and your credit score, so make sure to avoid missed repayments wherever possible. Learn more about how missed repayments could impact your credit with our guide.

How many quick loans can you have at once?

You can sometimes take out more than one quick loan at the same time, particularly if you borrow through several different lenders. However, it’s not wise to build up debt in this way, as it can make it difficult to meet your repayment responsibilities.

As part of our responsible lending procedure, we’ll check what other loans you may already be paying off before we agree to lend you money.

Why can't I get a quick loan?

There could be various reasons why you might be turned down for a quick loan online. Lenders will check your credit record for CCJs (County Court Judgements) or bankruptcy. Meanwhile, if you have a history of defaulting on loans, this may also impact your chances of approval. Alternatively, you may not meet a lender’s minimum lending criteria, such as having a UK bank account or a certain regular income.
