No guarantor loans

No guarantor loans allow you to borrow money without the need for a friend or family member to guarantee repayment of the loan.

What are no guarantor loans?

No guarantor loans are a form of short-term loan designed for people with bad credit, where you are responsible for repaying the total debt. These are the opposite of guarantor loans, where a friend or relative will co-sign the loan agreement to say that if you default on the loan repayments, they will make the repayments on your behalf.

If you have a less than perfect credit history – especially if you have previously had trouble meeting loan repayments - some personal loan lenders will require a form of security before they will lend you money. The guarantor provides this security.

What are the advantages of no guarantor loans?

We understand that it can be awkward asking someone to co-sign a loan agreement with you – after all, it’s your money and your business. The good news is that no guarantor loans for bad credit do exist.

No guarantor loans for bad credit

If you have experienced financial difficulty in the past – or perhaps you are on a limited income – you may think that no guarantor loans with bad credit are unavailable to you.

However, there are providers of bad credit loans who can help. These can be in the form of a payday loan, short-term loan or other types of personal loans.

I have poor credit — will I be eligible to get a loan with no guarantor?

Yes, providing you meet the other eligibility criteria, then you can apply for a no guarantor loan, even if you have poor credit. Please do note, however, that as a responsible short-term loan provider, we may not be able to provide the loan you request if we feel it isn't appropriate for you. In this case, we may offer you a loan for a smaller amount, ask that you get a guarantor, or completely decline your loan application.

No guarantor loan FAQs

Are no guarantor loans without credit checks available?

No guarantor loans without a credit check do not exist. You should be wary of any payday lender who says they offer bad credit loans without a credit check. Lenders are legally required to check the credit file of any loan applicant to ensure that they will be able to repay any lending comfortably.

Is it better to apply for no guarantor loans through direct lenders or brokers?

As each direct lender may have different criteria for approving a bad credit loan, it is difficult knowing which one to go to.

If you use a loan broker, however, you are getting access to a number of no guarantor direct lenders. The broker will use their expertise to match you to the most suitable loan companies – saving you time and effort.

Can I get a no guarantor loan if I am unemployed?

If you are unemployed but still have some form of income, then no guarantor loans for unemployed people may be available to you. So, if you are a student with a part-time job, or you are a retired person with a pension income, for example, then we’d be delighted to see how we can help.

Are no guarantor loans the same as unsecured loans?

Yes. In both cases, if you have a no guarantor loan or an unsecured loan, this means that the lender has not asked for security (such as a guarantor who will repay the loan if you don’t, or an asset they can seize if you default on your repayments) to approve the loan. Unsecured loans are based on your creditworthiness alone.

Important Information

If you do not make your minimum repayment by the agreed upon due date, you may incur additional charges and penalties. If you are having problems paying, please call your credit provider. For other sources of assistance, visit www.mymoneysteps.org; call the Step Change Debt Charity on 0800 138 1111; or National Debtline on 0808 808 4000; or visit moneyadviceservice.org.uk; or visit your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

†Loan approval: All loan offers are subject to lender final approval. Approval/transfer times vary by lender. Not all lenders may be able to transfer funds in 15 minutes. Approvals/transfers may take longer for applications processed outside normal working hours. If your bank does not support faster payments, it may take longer for funds to reach your account.

‡Credit checks: When assessing your eligibility for a loan, lenders will carry out a soft search; only you can see them on your credit report and they have no impact on your credit rating. If you accept a lender's loan offer, they will perform a hard credit search which will be visible to any company searching your credit report for 12 months.
