A few months ago I was in dire need of £10,000 to finance an excursion to Canada for a funeral.  A good friend of mine – a mate that I’ve had for most of my life – passed away in a car accident in Toronto, and I needed to attend his funeral.  Due to the situation I had very little notice, and my airline ticket was very pricey.  Rather than stand around with my knickers around my ankles, I decided to take out a loan to pay for everything.

I used MoneyBack Bank for a few reasons, though the biggest one was that I was able to complete the entire process online, from application to acceptance.  If I were a bum, I’d have been in heaven.

MoneyBack Bank is very competitive as well: 6.2% interest, and the ability to receive cash back on the amount borrowed (cool!).  Considering some of my other options, including a 14% interest credit card, MoneyBack Bank seemed like a no-brainer.  I submitted my application online in a matter of minutes, and I found out the next day that I had been accepted.

Loan Terms and Conditions

The conditions of my personal loan were as followed: 24 month payback period, 6.2% interest, and the possibility to pay out the loan early with no penalties.  As a consumer, I feel that the terms are very fair, as there is no condition or clause that would severely inhibit my ability pay the loan back in a reasonable period of time.

The money was wire transferred in my back account the day that I was approved and had agreed to the loan, and there was no hold on it either.  Surprisingly, MoneyBack Bank never asked me what I was using the money for.  The only question that was related was the obligatory “are you planning to use the funds to acquire illegal or controlled materials?”  Of course, I said no.

Overall Impression and an Update

Thanks to the timely service of MoneyBack Bank I was able to attend the funeral in Canada, spend a few days visiting friends and family, and not have to worry about money while I was across the pond.  Canada is a very beautiful country, and I made sure to see the parliament buildings in Ottawa, the CN Tower (the worlds largest freestanding tower), and Niagara falls.

At the end of it all, however, I was glad to be on my way back home.  Driving on the right side of the road was starting to make me dizzy, and the sheer number of yank tanks is nothing short of amazing.  MoneyBack Bank gets my recommendation, as does Canada.
