If you need £250 to get you through the tough times, we've got your back...
Dealing with difficult situations are challenging at any point in life. But dealing with them as a student can add extra layers of stress - being far away, being somewhat on your own, and encountering such situations for the first time can all become somewhat overwhelming.
When you’re met with a major crisis, the last thing you want to be worrying about is whether you’ve got enough money to do what you need to do. Any action plan is going to be impossible to see through if you can’t actually afford it.
Find yourself much in need of a quick, short term £250 loan? That’s where Smart-Pig comes in. If your next student finance, SAAS or NHS bursary payment is too far out of reach - or if you had to dip into this more than you wanted to for an urgent problem - we can get funds into your account in just 90 minutes (if your application is approved).
We’re a name you can trust: over 50,000 students already do, and we aren’t trying to trap people into a cycle of borrowing - which is why we don’t do roll-overs, late payment fees, or unlimited interest on our £250 loans
Example: if you took out a £250 loan for 14 days, the total interest and fees would come to just £28.00 - so you’d need to pay back £278 in total.
You might need a £250 loan for...
…renting a car because it’s the quickest way to get somewhere (whether it’s you driving, or an Uber!), or finding short-term accommodation close to where you need to be. Borrowing £250 might not cover something like that for long, but it’ll buy you a night or two - which buys you time to find a more permanent solution.
If you’re a little short of cash and need to borrow anything up to £350, fill out our quick loan calculator to kick-start your Smart-Pig student loan.
Don't just take our word for it...
"You know when you come across something so simple that makes life just that little bit easier? Well that's Smart-Pig…I was in a desperate situation and no-one could help, didn't want to go to the big lenders because I didn't need that much then came across Smart-Pig just for students!"
"Upload your documents as proof of student finance, request how much you want to borrow, if accepted, they give you the loan and you pay it back out of your account automatically when your student finance comes in. It’s as simple as that and the interest is not that high either. Thanx Smart-Pig, you're a saviour!"
