We'll search our panel of lenders for a credit product that suits your needs. Through Afforda, you could get access to:

  • Short term loans
  • Payday loans
  • Emergency loans
  • Credit line firms

Checking your options or seeing if you are eligible will not affect your credit score. Your credit score is only affected if you apply for a loan and the lender carries out a hard credit check.

Is Afforda a Direct Lender or a Credit Broker?

Afforda is a credit broker, not a direct lender. This means we don’t lend money ourselves. Instead, we work with a panel of lenders and credit providers to help you find suitable credit based on your individual circumstances.

How Much Can I Borrow Through Afforda?

You may be able to borrow between £100 and £5,000 through our panel of lenders. The exact amount depends on the lender’s criteria and your financial situation. If approved, repayment terms can range from 61 days to up to 60 months.

How Does The Loan Process Work With Afforda?

Start by filling out our short, secure online form. We’ll then search our panel of lenders to find a match for your needs. If approved, review the offer carefully, funds could reach your bank account within 90 seconds.

How Secure Is My Personal Information When I Apply Through Afforda?

Your data is protected at all times. We use secure systems and strict privacy controls to keep your information safe. We only share your details with our lending partners to help find suitable credit. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.

Can I Still Apply If I Have A Low Credit Score?

Yes, you can still apply. Some of our lending partners consider applications from people with less-than-perfect credit. However, approval depends on each lender’s criteria and your financial situation. Checking your eligibility with Afforda won’t affect your credit score.

Does Afforda Charge Any Fees or Commissions?

No. Using Afforda is free for you. We do not charge any fees or hidden costs. We may receive a commission from a lender or credit provider if your application is approved. This does not change the cost of your loan.
