What is a 3 month loan?

A 3 month loan is a short-term loan usually repaid within three months (90 days). Three month loans are usually used to borrow smaller amounts of money to cover short term cash flow gaps and financial emergencies.

Getting a 3 month loan is quick and straightforward, all you need to do is complete an online application form stating how much you want to borrow, and the period you want to borrow it for. In this instance, a period of three months.

The lenders that we work with are quick at deciding whether to lend to you or not. If approved, you could have the funds you need in your bank account within 10 minutes^². After taking out a three month loan, repayments get made in three equal monthly instalments.

What can I use a 3 month loan for?

A 3 month loan can help get you out of tricky and unexpected financial situations. For example, you might need to pay an emergency bill, or perhaps you’re consolidating debt - however you choose to spend your three month loan is up to you. There aren’t many restrictions when it comes to using your three month loan, however you should not use these loans for anything other than necessities.

Some common immediate money problems you can use 3 month payday loans to cover include:

• Emergency medical or veterinary bills
• Vehicle breakdowns and roadside assistance
• Fixing or replacing necessary household appliances

What are the benefits of 3 month loans?

Despite coming with higher interest rates, 3 month payday loans offer a number of benefits for customers in need of money quickly. A few of the main advantages are:

• Monthly instalments: These 3 month loans are similar to payday loans, the difference being that you are able to spread the cost of borrowing over three months. Instead of making one large sum, which can be hard to budget for, you make 3 smaller payments over 90 days.
• Greater flexibility: There aren’t many restrictions when it comes to how you are able to spend your 3 month loan. This flexibility caters to a number of different financial emergencies.
• Apply for the loan online: This seamless approach to funding enables you to submit an application online, from anywhere. Do so on the go, or from the comfort of your own home - it’s completely up to you!
• Fast access to funds: As a result of improved technology and a well-thought out application process, lenders are able to make fast decisions and issue loans in as little as 10 minutes^² after approval.

Am I eligible to get a loan for 3 months?

When it comes to 3 month payday loans, loan lending criteria differs from lender to lender. Once you submit your application for a three month loan through ThisLender, we will ask some basic eligibility questions. After passing the initial checks, you will need to meet the direct lender’s lending criteria.

If you meet the below direct lender criteria, then you could qualify for a 3 month 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 3 month loan if I have bad credit?

Yes, you might be able to get a 3 month loan with bad credit. The 3 month loan lenders we work with welcome applications from borrowers with all credit histories.

When assessing your application, the lender will look at a number of factors to determine creditworthiness. Bear in mind that the lender will always want to ensure you can afford to repay the loan in full, so if you have adverse credit, you might be asked to get a guarantor to co-sign the loan agreement.

Lenders are required to lend responsibly, so if you have bad credit the lender will want other evidence that shows your ability to make repayments - such as full time employment and income records.

Unfortunately, you might struggle if you want to secure a 3 month loan with low interest. With a bad credit score there’s more of a chance of the lender charging high interest rates to mitigate the lending risk.

Is a 3 month loan available with no credit check?

No, every lender will credit check you during the application process. Lenders need to credit check all applicants to make sure they are financially sound and able to make monthly repayments.

You should be wary of any provider offering a 3 month loan on a no credit check basis. Regardless, you don’t need to worry about going through a credit check as there are many lenders out there willing to lend to you if you have a bad credit history.

How much can I borrow over 3 months?

At ThisLender We arrange 3 month loans from £50 to £5000^†. But the amount you will receive will be based on what you can afford and your financial circumstances. So it’s important to understand that you might not receive the amount you apply for, the lender will assess your application and determine how much you can borrow over the three month period.

You should only borrow the amount of cash you desperately need - as we’ve already mentioned - 3 month loans can be costly.

Are 3 month loans expensive?

Yes, a 3 month loan can be expensive. They are a fast but costly way to borrow money, and because of this they tend to feature higher interest rates than longer term loans. Although you will be able to repay the borrowed funds quickly, in just three months, you should watch out for interest charges.

Can I pay my 3 month loan back early?

It might be possible for you to pay back part or all of the 3 month loan earlier than initially planned, and doing so could help you to save back the total amount paid with interest. When discussing the loan terms with your lender, be sure to raise this question.

How do I get a 3 month loan from a direct lender?
