Our review of Lending Stream

Lending Stream are a short-term lender with a loan term of six months. Their representative APR is high at 1333%, however this sort of rate is to be expected when considering this type of credit. Their online application makes life simple for customers and the online management tool is a bonus as it gives customers the chance to take charge of their loan – they can have visibility of their repayments, see the remaining balance and check on the status of their payments.

When first applying to Lending Stream, customers are only allowed to borrow up to a maximum of £800. Once they have proven that they can repay on time and everything is in order with the loan, they can then borrow up to £1,500. Successful applicants can receive the loan payment into their account almost immediately, however it can take up to 24 hours for the payment to show in your online management section. Lending Stream don’t have any hidden fees or charges, but beware of late payments as they do incur a charge and can harm your credit history in the long run.

As with all short-term lending options, they are not a long-term solution and as they have such a high representative APR. Caution should be taken if you are looking at this type of credit to avoid getting stung and falling into financial difficulty.

Overall verdict: Although using short-term credit loans should be carefully considered, Lending Stream appear to offer a transparent way of doing business. They provide their customers with all the tools to keep on top of the loan and their website is simple to use. If you are thinking of taking out credit with this type of lender then they could be an option worth researching.
