About LoanU
Why LoanU?
How can a LoanU Personal Loan help me?
How can I get a personal loan if I have a bad credit score?
At LoanU we believe in assessing our clients based on their circumstances today, not what has happened in their past. We help you move forward, without being judged for the “black marks” on your credit report.
LoanU offers personal loans from $5,000 to $12,000 for loan terms of between 2 to 4 years. We do not base your application off your credit score, so whether you have a less than perfect credit rating, or are looking to consolidate any number of debts into one easy-to-manage loan, we aim to work with you to find the most suitable loan solution for you.
Why should I avoid payday loans?
Payday loans involve high interest rates, and are designed to be a quick fix for a short term solution. LoanU offers a real alternative to high-cost, short term loans. We want to help you consolidate your debt, and to help solve the larger problems you’re dealing with.
LoanU can help you to improve our credit score, save on interest and pay off your loans faster.
What is the difference between LoanU and a bank?
Well, we’re not your everyday lender. We actually care about rewarding good repayment history and want to help our customers on their path to financial freedom.
We do not base your application off your credit score, so whether you have a less than perfect credit rating, or are looking to consolidate any number of debts into one easy-to-manage loan, we aim to work with you to find the most suitable loan solution for you.

What happens once I am approved for a loan?
For our customers that use LoanU to consolidate existing debts we pay the loan or debt directly to the creditor, which provides you with certainty and allows you to rest easy. You will know your debts have been cleared and that you have simplified your repayments, making them easier to manage.
In the event that we are not consolidating debts and providing funds for another purpose, we provide the loan amount to you by direct deposit to your bank account.
