Serpable Ltd is a Licensed Credit Broker
We are not a lender

ALL LOANS ARE SUBJECT TO CREDITWORTHINESS AND AFFORDABILITY CHECKS

Serpable Ltd is a credit broker and never charge you for the use of their service or take money from your account. Loan costs will vary depending on the lender. We use a consumer application system to allow our customers to make applications to a number of loan providers and brokers using a single online application form.

Please only apply for a loan if you are confident that you are able to make the repayments. Missing repayments may have a negative effect on your credit rating and make it more difficult for you to obtain credit in the future.

We only want you to apply for a loan if you’re sure you can repay it in full on your due date and still manage your other outgoings. By accepting these terms you confirm you have provided accurate financial information and considered potential future income and outgoings in determining your ability to repay

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CONSOLIDATING EXISTING BORROWING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE EXTENDING THE TERMS OF THE DEBT AND INCREASING THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU REPAY. A PAYDAY LOAN OFFERS A SHORT TERM FINANCIAL SOLUTION AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A LONG TERM SOLUTION.

* Subject to lenders requirements and approval. Most loans can be paid into your bank account within one hour, although this could take 2-3 days if your bank does not accept faster payments! However not all of our lenders offer this service and some may not pay straight into your bank account . Please note that not everyone will qualify for the full amount of £25000 – this is subject to creditworthiness and affordability checks*

We work exclusively with a selected group of lenders and licensed credit brokers to offer you a range of credit and loan products. We may receive a percentage of the loan amount as a commission from a loan provider or broker if you take out one of their products and/or we may receive a fee for introducing you to them.

You can request details of these commissions or fees, by emailing us at hello@leadbrain.co.uk. We will then provide you with the precise amount of the commission or fee or, where that amount is not known, the likely amount. Please note that the lender or broker we direct you to may not offer the cheapest loan that is available to meet your needs.
