No, we're a short term credit broker who are partnered with reputable UK based direct lenders. It is our lending partners who will ultimately fulfil your loan request. Our system matches your requirements with a direct lender who is willing to faciliate your request within minutes of submitting an application. The process is entirely automated.
All of the loans we offer can be paid back between 1 and 36 months. Our lending partners will determine if they're able to meet your term request if not they may present new terms as part of their formal loan offer. You are under no obligation to accept these new terms however.
Our application form has been designed to make applying for a loan easier than ever. All we require is some basic personal information such as your name, address and phone number along with some basic information about your income and expenditure and the source of that income. The whole application process takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
We Understand Our Customers
Pounds to Pocket always puts its customers first. Not only do we want to provide a stellar short term lending service, we also want to make sure our customers are well looked after by our lending partners. Getting you the cash you need, when you need it is our primary goal but we also pride ourselves on doing so in a responsible and customer first manner. We believe this is the key to a successful relationship. We understand some of our customers may have a chequered past financially speaking and obviously we don't want to compound further issues such as lumbering you with an unmanageable debt. So we only partner with responsible direct lenders who will only borrow you money that you can afford to pay back.
A lot of our customers come to us with a bad or poor credit rating simply looking for a small amount of short term funding to tide them over and here at Pounds to Pocket we do our utmost to facilitate this. Most of the small cash loans we offer are used for day to day living expenses until the next payday and are typically repaid within a single month. A lot of traditional lenders such as high street banks however are unable (or unwilling) to offer cash advances like this which is where we come in with our offering of short term cash advances repayable between 1 and 36 months.
There is no shame in taking out bad credit payday loans, it's a legitimate service sought after by over 50% of the population of the United Kingdom at some point or another. Likewise suffering from bad credit due to a few missed payments here and there is nothing to be ashamed of. These things happen. We know this, our lenders know this and as a result endeavour to primarily take into account your current financial situation when deciding whether or not to accept you for a loan rather than simply base everything on the historic information contained in your credit report.

Helping Everyday People
Our business is aimed at real people, people who suffer the trials and tribulations of day to day life and every now and again just need an extra bit of help to tide them over until their next payday. Pounds to Pocket is that helping hand. Regardless of your past history, we'll do our best to get you the funding you need as quickly as possible.
We understand that not everyone has a perfect credit history and sometimes an unexpected expense or bill pops up that you need a bit of help to cover. It is because of this we offer a variety of common short term lending solutions such as :-
- Payday Loans
- 6 Month Loans
- Emergency Loans

Responsible Lending
None of the reputable lenders we're partnered with will provide you with a loan you're unable to repay. Not servicing debt and fulfilling your commitments is one of the primary causes of a bad credit score. Our partners understand this and make it their goal to help you rebuild your credit, not damage it further by faciliating unaffordable loans.
In short, our lenders gauge what you can afford to pay back based on your income vs expenditure. So they will not borrow you money just because you requested it. This is what responsible lending is all about and why the payday lenders we're partnered with are considered some of the UK's best.
Treating Customers Fairly
Pounds to Pocket strictly adheres to the FCA's guidelines on treating customers fairly. We follow this policy rigorously which means that you'll always be treated in a fair manner. Nothing will be hidden or obscured throughout any step of the loan application process and the same goes for our lending partners too.
But that's not where the process ends. Our lenders will also be on hand to address any queries and issues you may have throughout the entire term of the loan and all of the UK lenders we associate with put customer satisfaction at the forefront of their business operations.
Pounds to Pocket is proud to offer payday loans as a primary service as we believe in our process, as do our customers and not only do we make applying for a payday loan a quick and easy experience, we also deliver on our promise to do so in a fair, safe and responsible manner.
A Quick and Secure Process
We pride ourselves on operating a highly efficient short term loan business. Our systems have been designed from the ground up to allow payday loan applicants to apply for the funding they need in less than 5 minutes in most cases.
Our secure online loan application form only requests the most basic details of our applicants such as name, address, contact information and some basic details about your income and expenditure. The rest is related to the loan itself such as how much, over how long and how you'd like to pay the loan back.
Once approved and you've accepted the overall terms of the loan, it will simply be transferred directly to the bank account that you specified during the application process. It's that simple and it's all handled seamlessly via our online systems in a quick, secure and efficient manner.

Below we've curated a list of websites that can help you get back on track financially and even if you are currently meeting all of your demands, there is a wealth of information on good financial management and savings advice.

If you're looking to get a handle on your debt, this is the best place to start.
