Pros and cons
Wandoo
Pros
- No opening or study commission, with an origination fee of 0.00 EUR (no opening or study commission) on the payday and personal loans.
- Repayment follows the income cycle: €50 to €1,800 over 7 to 35, which suits a bill that clears next month rather than a multi year plan.
- Fixed monthly cost from a direct lender, direct lender, so the terms sit with one counterparty instead of a broker chain.
Cons
- The APR of 4,530.48% to 8,385.16% is far above the payday loan median of 36.5%, and the top of the range reaches 4,530.48% to 8,385.16%.
- Free early repayment is no, so clearing the loan early still carries a charge.
- The amount ceiling of €50 to €1,800 is small next to the home improvement median of €1,000, so a large renovation needs another lender.
Youmoney
Pros
- Money can move fast: the stated funding time is minutes with the fastest lenders, usually a few hours, and at the latest by the end of the next business day.
- Early repayment is free, so settling the balance ahead of schedule adds no fee to the bill.
- The offer covers personal, payday and debt consolidation under a single application, which saves shopping lender by lender.
Cons
- The APR runs 25.28% to 72.19%, well above the 10% to 23% band at Monzo Flex, so the cost of access is high.
- The arrangement fee in the instalment-loan representative example is 33.76% of the amount borrowed, charged on top of the interest.
- A hard credit check runs on every application, so a rejected or repeated attempt leaves a full search on your file.

Questions about each
Wandoo
What does a Wandoo loan cost?+
The published APR is 4,530.48% to 8,385.16% and the rate is variable. There is no opening or study commission, the origination fee being 0.00 EUR (no opening or study commission), so the interest rate does most of the work in setting what you repay. The representative example shows the annual cost clearly once the short term is taken into account.
Are there arrangement or opening fees?+
The origination fee is 0.00 EUR (no opening or study commission), and there is no opening or study commission on the payday or personal loans. Interest on the amount borrowed is the main cost, and the rate is variable, so it can move with the reference rate.
Youmoney
What APR will I pay on a Youmoney loan?+
The advertised range is 25.28% to 72.19%, and the instalment-loan representative example sits inside that band at a fixed rate. The figure to watch is the total repayable in the example rather than the headline percentage, because the commission charged alongside the interest adds a large share of the amount borrowed.
What fees are charged on top of the interest?+
The listed charge beyond interest is the arrangement fee. In the instalment-loan representative example the commission is 33.76% of the amount borrowed, which is the largest single addition to the bill and the reason the total repayable overshoots the sum you asked for. Compare total repayable figures across quotes, not the rate alone.
