How soon can I apply for a top up loan?

Here at Smart Money Cymru Community Bank, we understand that emergencies crop up from time to time and our members may need to access additional credit whilst repaying their current loan with us. As always, we are here to help where we can so advise members to contact us to discuss if any further borrowings are possible.

I have been refused a loan; what can I do?

If you have been refused a loan, the reason for refusal would have been fully explained to you; however, we strongly advise that you continue saving with us to help future loan applications.

Will you be doing a credit search on me?

We might perform a full credit reference agency search in order to check your ability to repay a loan and also to clarify that the information given on the loan application is accurate. The information we receive from the credit search is used as a tool by our Underwriting Team, as well as many other factors that are taken into account. Please be open and honest with us to enable us to make the right decision.

Why do you need to see my bank statements and payslips?

Smart Money Cymru is a responsible lender and sometimes we need to make sure that you can comfortably afford the repayments before we approve a loan, as well as saving with us. We pride ourselves on providing affordable credit, not unaffordable debt.

How long will it take to get a decision?

Once all relevant documentation has been received, we aim to turn around all loans within 24 hours (this could change during particularly busy periods, such as Christmas). You will be contacted if we have any queries regarding your application.

How can I calculate what I can borrow?

You can use our loan calculator! This will give you a very good idea of what your desired loan may cost per month, and what the monthly repayments will look like. You can also give us a call to discuss as well.

I’m worried about being able to repay my loan, what help do you provide?

We wouldn’t provide you with a loan if we didn’t feel that you can repay it and put some money aside into your savings at the same time. We aren’t here to encourage credit for debt, but credit to help you with your finances. We would absolutely ask you to give us a call so we can discuss your personal situation and provide you with advice.
