If you’re considering applying for a Mr Lender high-cost short term loan but aren’t sure how the process works, this guide explains how a Mr Lender loan works, including the costs, repayments and what happens if you have trouble making a payment.
Please remember: Every loan application is subject to credit and affordability checks and approval is not guaranteed. Before taking out a loan with us, you should read your contract carefully and ensure you are confident that you can comfortably afford the repayments.
STEP 1: APPLY ONLINE
You can choose the amount you need to borrow and how long you would like to repay it over. If you are a new customer, you may be able to borrow up to £500, subject to our checks. We will ask for information about:
– Your income
– Your regular spending
– Your personal details
We use this information to decide whether a loan is affordable for you. Every application is subject to credit and affordability checks. Approval is not guaranteed.
STEP 2: IF LOAN IS APPROVED
If we approve your application, we will send the money to the bank account you provided. Depending on your bank, the money may arrive within a few hours or by the end of the day. There are no upfront fees for taking out a loan with us.
Representative example: If you borrow £200 over 6 months, repay with 6 payments – payment 1: £81.33, payment 2: £73.23, payment 3: £65.13, payment 4: £57.33, payment 5: £49.24, payment 6: £41.14. Rate of interest 0.80% per day on outstanding capital. Total repayable £367.40 (based on 30 day periods) Interest rate 292% per annum (fixed). Representative 1,256.0% APR.
You can make extra payments or repaying early at any time and this may reduce the total amount you repay.
STEP 3: MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS
Your first payment will be collected from your debit card when you receive your salary or regular income. We will tell you the amount due and the date your payment will be collected.
If you Miss a Payment We understand that people’s circumstances can change. We do not charge late payment fees. If you miss a payment:
– We will contact you to understand your situation.
– We can discuss the support and repayment options available.
– Daily interest will continue to be added to the amount you still owe, as explained in your loan agreement until an arrangement is put in place.
– We will report your loan as ‘in arrears’ to our credit reference agency Transunion.
If you think you may have difficulty making a payment, please contact us as soon as possible. The sooner you get in touch, the more options we may be able to discuss with you.
STEP 4: CONTINUE YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENTS
We will collect your agreed monthly payments until the loan is repaid.
You can: – Repay the loan in full at any time. – Make additional payments towards the amount borrowed.
This may reduce the total cost of your loan.
STEP 5: REPAY YOUR LOAN
Once your final repayment has been received, your loan will be fully repaid
BEFORE YOU APPLY

If you are experiencing financial difficulties, poor health, bereavement, disability, or another life event that affects your finances, please let us know. We may be able to discuss additional support and communication options that meet your needs.
