A bigger loan to meet your longer-term needs

Big Plus loan

Borrow from £1,000 – £5,000 and pay it back over 18 to 36 months

The Big Plus loan from Oakam is designed with a purpose – your longer-term financial needs. As you borrow and pay back successfully with our flagship product, the Oakam Loan, you’ll unlock access to our larger product, the Big Plus loan, bringing with it larger loan amounts over a longer period of time and at a much lower annual interest rate.

It’s one way we use your real situation and data about your financial behaviour to meet your needs.

Big Plus loans are only available to existing customers who have a track record of successfully borrowing with Oakam. Qualifying existing customers can apply for a Big Plus loan on the Oakam mobile app. New customers can apply for the Oakam Loan on the website or via the mobile app. You can compare our loans here.

The Big Plus loan is a longer term commitment so, as with all our loans, we advise you take your time to decide if it’s the right option for you. Rest assured, as a responsible lender, we will always conduct thorough checks on loan applications and only provide loans that we believe are affordable and sustainable.
