How is Drafty an alternative to a £200 loan?

Here are a few ways in which Drafty can be seen as a £200 loan alternative:
  1. We check your creditworthiness and affordability. This helps us to ensure that you are not taking on more debt than what you can handle.
  2. We provide a credit line allowing you to borrow funds up to your approved credit limit as needed. This means you can borrow smaller or larger amounts depending on your specific needs rather than being limited to a fixed loan amount.
  3. At Drafty, we offer flexible repayment terms. You can make minimum payments or pay off the balance in full, depending on what works best for your financial situation.
  4. If you need to borrow money on the same day, we might help. Once approved, we’ll send your approved line of credit sent to your bank within 90 seconds. We don’t think it gets much quicker than that!

How do £200 loans work?

Understanding how £200 loans work is essential for individuals seeking quick financial assistance. These loans typically involve borrowing a small amount, £200 in this case, for a short period, usually until the next payday. Borrowers can apply for a £200 loan online or through a lender, providing necessary personal and financial information.

Once approved, the £200 loan is sent to your bank. Subject to repayment terms, you’ll repay the loan the following payday. Some lenders offer short term loans which you usually repay within a short period of time allowing you to repay over equal monthly repayments.

At Drafty, we offer a better alternative. We offer a line of credit. If you're approved for a line of credit, you’ll get an account with a credit limit. From here, you can transfer money from your Drafty account to your bank account anytime within your agreed credit limit.

What can I use a £200 loan for?

A £200 loan and other short-term loans can be used for various short-term financial needs, unexpected bills, or to cover an unexpected expense. Here are some common uses:

  1. Unforeseen expenses such as medical bills, utility bills, car repairs, or home repairs that require immediate attention
  2. Addressing personal needs such as replacing a broken appliance
  3. Bridging a financial gap temporarily

At Drafty, we ask you why you need our line of credit. Usually, our customers use it in the same way they would a short term loan. This could be for things such as car repairs, dealing with a boiler breakdown, or a sudden, unexpected bill.

Can I get more than £200?

The amount you can borrow will depend on the specific terms and policies of the lender you choose. If you need more than £200, Drafty may be able to help. You could borrow between £50 and £3,000 (based on approval). Plus, you can reuse up to your credit limit again without reapplying, as long as your account with us is in good standing.

How long can I borrow a £200 loan for?

The duration for which you can borrow a £200 loan for will depend on the specific terms offered by the lender. That said, with a Drafty credit line, there is no set minimum or maximum repayment term as long as the minimum monthly repayment sum is met. However, you can repay your line of credit early without fees and save on interest.

Can I get a £200 loan with bad credit?

Yes, some lenders can offer a small loan even if you have a bad or poor credit history. If you choose to apply for a line of credit with Drafty, we'll consider your personal circumstances to ensure you can afford your repayments before accepting you. We consider more than just your credit rating, so there's a chance you could still be approved for our credit line, even with a low credit score.

Remember that if you are facing financial difficulties, borrowing money may not be the best option.

FAQs - £200 loan

Is Drafty a £200 payday loan lender?

No. Drafty is not a payday loan lender. Drafty offers a flexible credit line that allows borrowers to access funds as needed, up to a predetermined credit limit. Unlike a payday loan with a fixed repayment date, Drafty provides ongoing access to credit, and borrowers are charged interest only on the amount they borrow.

Can I borrow £200 today?

You might be able to borrow £200 today. At Drafty, we’ve made the process simple. You can apply online in minutes for a quick decision. Drafty can transfer cash to your bank in under 90 seconds if approved.

Can I get a £200 loan with no credit check?

We advise against getting a loan or line of credit from lenders who don't conduct a credit check. All FCA-regulated direct lenders need to perform a credit check as part of the loan application process. This practice is in place to prioritise responsible lending and ensure a thorough assessment of each application.
