Can you check the status of my application?
If you applied on the app, you can see the status of your application. If you can see something sat in requests then this would been that we have the application. Anything else you would see a specific status for example information requested or information received.
It says I have already applied within 90 days.

It’s been longer than 5 working days
Due to the large volumes, loan applications may take longer than 5 working days. The team will work through the applications as quickly as we possibly can.
Someone applied after me and already has theirs
We receive a lot of applications on day one, we can receive 100 in a five-minute period, we will be working through all applications as fast as possible.
Why have I been offered less?
We check each application thoroughly and if we believe the application is not affordable at the amount applied for, we may offer less with lower repayments
Why can I not get through on the phone or answer my email?
We are a small team, answering calls and emails will slow down during our very busy top-up periods. The priority at these times is the processing of loans, the more time the team spend away from the applications then less loan applications will be processed.
We have this FAQ page to hopefully eliminate any questions you have.
