Oakam loan

Get started on the road to financial security

Borrow from £100 – £1750 and pay it back over 6 to 12 months with the Oakam Loan

The Oakam loan is designed to give us the best chance at approving your application and providing you with cash fast. It’s there when you need it, but it also grows into something much bigger.

As we see that you’re paying back your Oakam loan and making your weekly repayments on time, you’ll be able to top up your initial loan to access more money if you need it. It’s our way of recognising reliable borrowers and using data about your repayment behaviour to increase the amount of credit you can access.

For first time customers, we can offer up to £800 as an Oakam Loan to be paid back over 6 months. As you repay and apply for top ups to your initial loan, we can increase your total loan amount up to £1,750 and offer longer terms, up to 12 months.

If you need to borrow more in the future, you can graduate from an Oakam Loan to our bigger loan product. We call it the Big+ loan. This lets you borrow up to £5,000 over 6, 12, 18, 24 or 36 months. For a full breakdown of the different loans we offer see our loan comparison tool.
