Pros and cons

Pros

  • The direct lender setup means the bank itself handles the application, the offer and the contract.
  • A fixed rate product with a fixed rate keeps the instalment level for the whole agreement.
  • Covers personal and debt consolidation, so a planned cost and a debt consolidation come from the same lender.

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre only, so no phone or email channel is listed.
  • Applications use a hard credit check, a fuller test than a soft prequalification that works against thin files.
  • Pricing is fixed rate across the board, so there is no variable rate to weigh up instead.

Who it suits

  • People funding a large planned cost or clearing several balances, with €1,500 to €65,000 available.
  • Borrowers who want a level monthly payment and can pass a hard credit check.
  • Anyone who prefers applying straight to the bank rather than through a broker.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a smaller euro sum should look at Cashspace ES, where amounts run €100 to €5,000 against €1,500 to €65,000 here.
  • Borrowers wanting a different currency can compare Monzo Flex, which lends £10,000 to £35,000.
  • Cashspace works in another currency on amounts of PHP 500 to PHP 25,000, a different market rather than a euro comparison.

The company behind it

The company behind the loans is based in Austria, so its address and its credit criteria sit in that market. Support is routed through a help centre, which puts most of the practical help in self service articles. Anyone who wants a named contact on the phone will find no such channel listed here.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow and over what term?+

Borrowing runs €1,500 to €65,000 and you can spread it over 12 to 120. A larger sum carried for longer lowers the monthly payment but raises the total repaid, so weigh the full cost before you commit. The direct lender setup means you apply straight to the bank.

Can I use it for debt consolidation as well as a planned cost?+

Yes, the personal and debt consolidation list covers both a personal loan and debt consolidation. You can pull several balances into a single repayment or cover a single planned expense. The same €1,500 to €65,000 and 12 to 120 apply on either route.

Is the rate fixed or variable?+

Every loan is priced at a fixed rate and offered as a fixed rate product. That keeps the instalment the same through the life of the agreement, which helps budgeting, though you give up the chance of a rate cut. No variable rate is listed here.

What credit check do I need to pass?+

Applications run a hard credit check rather than a soft prequalification, so the file is looked at in full and a thin record is likely to be turned down. Lowering balances on other credit before you apply can only help the picture a lender sees.

Who am I dealing with and where are they based?+

You deal with a direct lender rather than a broker, so the application, the offer and the contract all sit with the bank. The operation is based in Austria, and its criteria are written for that market rather than another. That gives you a single point of contact for the whole term.

What support is available once I have the loan?+

Support runs through a help centre, which covers self service questions on payments, terms and the schedule you signed. No phone or email channel is listed, so anything complex means working through those articles. Keep your own copy of the agreement details.

How does the borrowing range compare with the alternatives?+

At €1,500 to €65,000 the range sits above Cashspace ES, which lends €100 to €5,000, and it is far wider than that lower euro band. Monzo Flex lends £10,000 to £35,000 in pounds, so it works on a different currency and a tighter range.
