If you were to apply at Finio Loans, you could expect the process to look like this:

  • Choose your preferred loan and term.
  • Complete the online application form – Finio Loans suggest that this should take no more than 10 minutes. You will be asked to provide information such as your personal details, your employment, your income and your outgoings, as well as any other information Finio Loans need to know.
  • Finio Loans will carry out an eligibility check and let you know whether or not you can proceed with a full application.
  • If you decide to proceed, you will be asked to provide further information. You may be asked to provide proof of identity and address, for example. This may take up to two working days to process. Please be aware that credit is subject to status, and you will be subject to a full credit check, as well as any other checks Finio Loans deem necessary.
  • A final credit check will complete the application process. This will be visible on your credit file, and could affect your credit score. If Finio Loans are happy with all the information you have provided, they will make a loan offer.
  • Once you have accepted the loan, the money could be in your account the same day, but this will depend on your bank’s policies and procedures.

When will I receive my Finio Loan?

If your application has been approved before 3pm on a weekday, Finio Loans aim to pay the money into your bank account the same day. If you have been approved outside of this window, the money should be available the next working day. However, during busy periods Finio advise that it can take up to five working days for the money to land in your account.

It’s worth remembering that these timeframes are only guidelines and will also depend on your bank.

Finio Loans ask customers to contact them directly if the money has not arrived in your bank account within these five working days.

You can track the progress of your loan via the Oakbrook Hub.

Are there any charges for missed payments?

If you miss a payment on your Finio Loan, you will be charged additional interest and this will be added to the balance of your loan. Missing or failing to make your monthly loan repayments could also lead to a decrease in your credit rating, which may make it harder for you to be approved for financial products in the future.

Can you repay a Finio Loan before the agreed date?

Yes, you can – and Finio Loans do not charge an early repayment fee.

You can make a payment on your loan by logging into your account.

Should you pay your loan off in full, Finio Loans will charge interest from your last repayment date prior to the settlement date.
