How Garantor Loans work
Traditional unsecured loans or personal loans are provided on terms that depend on the applicant's personal financial circumstances. Lenders will base their decision to lend upon the applicant's credit history and/or will use computerised credit scoring techniques to make their decision.
Garantor Loans change the rules and put you in control - we don't believe that because you may have had credit issues in the past that you shouldn't be helped now. With an unsecured garantor loan you will be lent to if you can provide a garantor for the loan - that is a person who is prepared to guarantee the loan repayments should you default on those payments yourself. No one is likely to act as a garantor unless they believe that you will repay the loan 100%. This is why your garantor is likely to be a parent, family member or very close personal friend - they will know you better than a computerised score ever could! Because you provide a garantor we do not need to credit check you and we do not base our lending decison on a credit score.
