1 Month Loans from £50 to £5000^†

Payday has come and gone, and you’ve already received a low bank balance alert; what are your options? You can borrow from close friends and family or consider taking out a 1 month loan.

These short term loans are designed to help you plug that gap between paydays, so there’s no need to panic when you run out of cash. You might have run out of cash because you had to pay an unexpected bill, or there was an emergency you couldn’t have foreseen. Whatever the reason, a one month loan is here to support you when you need it most.

But be warned, 1 month loans are pricey. Learn more about a 1 month loan below.

What is a 1 month loan?

A 1 month loan, also known as a payday loan, is a short term cash loan that is usually repaid within one month — either within 30 days or four weeks. As these types of loans are extremely convenient and quick to get hold of, they’re pretty expensive, too.

Can I get a loan for 1 month?

Yes, if you meet the below direct lender criteria, then you could qualify for a 1 month payday loan:

• You’re over 18
• You’re a UK resident with a permanent address
• You’re employed and have a regular income
• Have a UK bank account with a debit card
• Your wages are paid into your UK bank account
• You are NOT currently bankrupt

Can I get a 30 day loan if I have bad credit?

Yes, you can. There are many specialist 1 month loan (30 day) payday lenders in the UK who consider people who have a bad credit history. Having said that, they will still lend responsibly, and every lender’s criteria differ.

Are 1 month loans available with no credit checks?

No, unfortunately, every lender will perform a credit check. But even if you do have bad credit, it doesn’t mean they won’t lend you money. Every UK lender lends to customers responsibly; they will credit check you and make sure you can afford the loan by ensuring you have a regular income and a stable financial situation.

How much can I borrow over 1 month?

We offer loans from £50 to £5000. However, the amount you will receive will be based on what you can afford and your financial circumstances. You should never lend more than you need. The more you borrow, the more interest you’ll pay back.

Once your application is processed and approved, you’ll usually see funds in your account within 24 hours.

How much does a 1 month loan cost?

The cost of a 1 month loan will vary depending on the lender. But the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) implemented price cap rules for the payday loan industry. Now, no borrower will ever pay back more than double the loan amount.

The FCA stated: “For all high-cost short-term credit loans, interest and fees must not exceed 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.”

Although there is a cap on interest rates and fees, a payday loan is still a costly loan option. You should only apply for a 1 month loan if you have absolutely no other financial options available to you.

Can you repay a loan after 1 month or on my next payday?

Yes, these loans are designed to be repaid within a month (30 days) after taking out the loan. You can repay on your next payday, or some loan lenders will allow you to repay early. Don’t forget that defaulting on your monthly repayments can severely affect your credit score — meaning you’ll find it difficult to secure a loan in the future.
