Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about borrowing with MoneyBuddy.
To be eligible for a MoneyBuddy loan, you'll need to be at least 18 years old and earning a steady income. This can come from full-time or part-time employment, as well as government benefits or pensions. If your income is solely from benefits or a pension, your application may still be considered but will be subject to additional checks. At MoneyBuddy, we practice responsible lending. That means we'll only approve your loan if we can see you'll be able to manage your repayments comfortably. If borrowing could put you under unnecessary financial stress, we won't proceed.
Apply during standard business hours, and once approved, your loan funds can often reach your account on the same day. In some cases, depending on your bank or additional verification, your funds may not arrive until the following business day.
MoneyBuddy makes borrowing simple. Our online application is fast, transparent, and designed to give you an answer quickly. You don't need to visit a branch — everything can be completed from the comfort of your home, with funds transferred as soon as the same day once approved.
With MoneyBuddy, you can access a range of short-term loan options tailored to your needs. Borrow between $500 and $2,500 with clear terms, flexible repayment schedules, and no hidden charges. Whether you need a smaller cash boost or a larger amount, we've designed our loans to be straightforward and stress-free.
