Our verdict on each
Finipay
Finipay suits Spanish adults with poor credit who need a small euro loan quickly and want no set-up charge. The trade-off is cost: an APR band of 0% to 212% and a representative example where a short loan costs far more to repay than to borrow.
Vivus ES
Vivus ES suits adults in Spain covering a short gap who need money the same day and will clear the balance fast. The catch is price: the representative example shows an annual cost that would dwarf a longer personal loan, and free early repayment is no.

Pros and cons
Finipay
Pros
- Setting the loan up adds nothing: the origination fee is 0 EUR, so no charge is bolted on to the interest.
- Money arrives in Under 24 hours, and same-day funding sits in same day funding.
- Poor credit is the target: poor means the service is aimed at files mainstream lenders decline.
Cons
- Finipay is a broker rather than the lender (broker), so the rate is set by a partner lender and its terms are not spelled out here.
- The cost of a short term is severe: the representative example repays far more than it lends, and the top of 0% to 212% is steep.
- Borrowing stops at €300 to €5,000, so a larger renovation, car purchase or consolidation job needs another provider.
Vivus ES
Pros
- No origination charge, with fees of 0 EUR and 0% on payday and personal loans
- Funding lands up to 15 minutes after approval, so a same day loan is realistic
- Direct lender, so direct lender means you deal with one company from application to repayment
Cons
- APR reaches 0% to 3,752.4%, and the representative example pairs a small loan with a very high annual cost
- Free early repayment is no, so settling early does not earn a rebate
- Loan amounts top out at €50 to €1,400, which limits what the product can cover
Who each suits
Finipay
Who it suits
- Adults in Spain with poor credit who need a modest sum quickly and would be turned down elsewhere, since poor is the level Finipay targets.
- Borrowers who want a fee-free set-up and a fast transfer, and who will read the representative example before choosing a term.
- People covering a car, a bill to consolidate or a home improvement, given personal, payday and debt consolidation and home improvement.
Who should look elsewhere
- Borrowers with a strong file who want the cheapest rate: Monzo Flex holds its APR at 10% to 23%, well under the top of Finipay's 0% to 212%.
- Anyone who needs to borrow more than €300 to €5,000: Cashspace lists its rate in Philippine pesos at PHP 12 to PHP 36, so it is not a euro answer to a larger sum.
- Shoppers chasing an interest-free headline rate: Cashspace ES shows an APR of 0%, while Finipay's 0% to 212% is the band where a real rate is quoted.
Vivus ES
Who it suits
- Adults living in Spain with a Spanish bank account and no pending payments or debts
- Borrowers facing a short term expense they can clear within 7 to 30
- People who value quick access to cash more than a long term
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone planning to carry the balance for a long period, since free early repayment is no and APR runs to 0% to 3,752.4%
- Borrowers who want a large sum, because amounts stop at €50 to €1,400
- Those who need a soft check, since the credit search here is hard

Questions about each
Finipay
Is there a fee for taking out a Finipay loan?+
No arrangement charge is added. The origination fee is 0 EUR, so the money you arrange does not shrink before it reaches you. What you pay is interest on the loan, and the size of that depends on the rate you are offered and the term you choose.
How much can I borrow, and for how long?+
Loans run €300 to €5,000, and terms run 3 to 60 months. That range is built for short and medium needs such as a repair, a car deposit or a bill to consolidate. It is not a route to a large renovation, because the ceiling is well below what the biggest lenders here arrange.
Vivus ES
How much does a Vivus ES loan cost?+
The annual percentage rate runs from 0% to 3,752.4%, and the representative example shows a small loan over a single term generating a large slice of interest on top of the amount borrowed. There is no origination charge, since fees are 0 EUR and 0%. Cost is driven by the rate and the short term rather than by upfront charges.
Is there a fee for taking out a Vivus ES loan?+
No origination fee is listed: the fee is 0 EUR with a percentage of 0% for both the payday and personal loan. You still pay interest on top, and the representative example shows how much the rate adds to a small loan taken over a short term. Read the annual figure before borrowing, because that is where the cost sits.
