You must own a valid debit card that is linked to the bank account that you would like us to transfer your money into and take repayments from which must also be the bank account your salary is paid into.
As a responsible lender we will NOT lend to anyone with evidence of County Court Judgments (CCJs) within the last 3 years, Individual Voluntary Agreements (IVAs), or Bankruptcy. All applications are subject to employment checks, credit checks and affordability assessments, and not everyone who applies will be offered a loan or the amount applied for. For more information, read about the checks we carry out .
Your credit history
If you make an application with us we will check your credit history because as a responsible lender we want to ensure you are able to keep up with the repayments.
You can check your credit file before applying for a loan by using agencies such as Clear Score , Experian and TransUnion .
APR explained
Our loans are calculated in Representative APR which makes it easy to compare our payday loans to other financial products. Our loan lasts just a few months, the APR is high because it’s calculated as though the loan is being taken out for an entire year – this explains why it might seem higher than other credit products options.
The 'representative' APR suggests that this is the rate that must be offered to at least 51% of customers that are successfully funded.
The rate you are charged may vary due to the length of the loan or the individual's circumstances and affordability. If you compare our rates to other payday lenders, we are considered one of the most competitive loan providers in the UK.

Direct lender vs broker
Mr Lender is a direct lender, meaning we will personally process your loan application; all correspondence will be directly with us and we will fund your loan if you have successfully passed all the relevant checks. When making an application through our website, you will not be charged any upfront fees and will only receive emails, text messages or phone calls from us directly.

If applying for a loan elsewhere with a company identifying as a ‘loan providing service’, this could mean they are a broker. FCA regulations also mean brokers must make it clear that they are brokers and not a direct lender.
Be aware of brokers who promise to approve a loan before the application process is complete as these could potentially be fraudulent companies. Also keep an eye out for a company address and contact details, as fraudulent companies tend to use a PO Box number.
Repay early at any time
We are pleased to offer our customers the opportunity to repay their loans early. So, if you find that you are in a better financial position than you thought, you can simply call us or log into your my account page and clear your outstanding balance. It will also be cheaper to do this as we only charge you the daily interest on the outstanding balance.
Therefore, if you initially took the loan for six months and you want to pay back after three months, you will only be charged the interest for the period you borrowed over.
What happens if I can’t make a payment
We all know what it is like when life throws a curve ball, just give us a call and let us know the situation. Don’t panic but also don’t hide from your creditors. If your payment falls into arrears, daily interest will continue to be applied to your account and this can lead to a much higher outstanding amount.
Failing to repay on time can also negatively impact your credit file which can make it harder to access finance in the future. Mr Lender is a fair, responsible lender and treating our customer fairly is at the forefront of all we do. We will work hard to find a suitable solution for you based on your circumstances.
