An alternative to payday loans

Handy Cash loans are a payday loan alternative. Our short term loans range from £100 to £300 for new customers and from £100 to £1,000 for existing customers. If approved, we’ll send the money to your bank or provide cash at your doorstep. Unlike a payday loan, you can repay over six months rather than on your next payday.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about costs, eligibility, repayments and changing your mind.

Our loans are straightforward and transparent. We provide the total cost upfront, known as the total amount payable, with no hidden fees or late payment charges. Even if you miss a repayment, your balance only decreases with each payment—no additional charges will ever be applied.
As a new customer, you can apply for a loan of up to £300.
We may still be able to assist you, even if you have been declined elsewhere due to your credit score. We assess each applicant based on affordability, ensuring you can comfortably meet repayments before offering a loan.
You have 14 days to cancel your loan, starting from the day you receive it, with no penalties. Simply contact your agent, and they will arrange to collect the funds, canceling your loan at no extra cost.
No, our loans are different. Unlike payday loans, which are repaid in full from a single monthly salary, our loans offer weekly repayment terms of 15, 25, 30, 40, or 50 weeks, making them suitable for a variety of needs. For example, a 15-week loan may be ideal for an unexpected car repair, while a longer-term loan may help with Christmas expenses.
