How to apply for a cash loan from Ladder Loans
Use their repayment calculator to select the loan amount and repayment period you prefer. It tells you what the repayments are so you can judge whether you can afford them. Remember that the quicker you repay the loan the lower the total cost of the interest although each repayment will be higher (see example in FAQs below).
After you apply you will be given a decision in principle (including an assessment of affordability). You may be contacted by a member of the Ladder Loans customer service team if they need to manually assess your application. Once approved the loan is paid to your bank account. If your application is received and approved by 3.30pm on a weekday then you should receive the funds into your bank the same day.

Got a Question about Ladder Loans?
Before you apply these are the basic borrower criteria. You must:
- Be aged 18 or over
- Be a UK resident
- Be in full time employment
- Have a bank account with a debit card
- Have an regular income of at least £750 per month (benefit payments are not accepted)
- Agree to a credit check
You will need to provide:
- a valid email address & mobile phone number
- address information
- your income and outgoings
- your employment details
- your bank account and debit card details
The loan amounts are fixed to be between £400 and £1500. What you are actually allowed to borrow will depend on your credit score how much you are judged to be able to afford in repayment terms. Ladder Loans is committed to lending responsibly.
For whatever amount you want to borrow the size of the monthly repayment depends on the period you want to borrow it for. And the pace you repay the loan determines the interest you will have to pay. As an example lets say you borrow £1000:
- Repay over 6 months – 6 repayment of £245.25 – total repayment = £1471.50
- Repay over 12 months – 12 repayments of £163.43 – total repayment = £1961,16
As you can see repaying the loan more quickly means higher monthly repayments, but you save a fortune (51%) in interest. The rule of thumb is to repay the loan as fast as you can within what your monthly budget allows.
You can calculate your instalment costs by using the Ladder Loans calculator.
When you make your application you specify the date on which Ladder Loans should debit the repayment from your bank account. They do this using a direct debit authority. If you believe you may have trouble meeting a month’s repayment you must get in touch with Ladder Loans to agree a solution.
If you do not take steps to resolve payment issues you may find it more difficult to obtain credit from any lender in the future.
You can speed up your loan repayments or pay the whole balance off in one go if you wish. To arrange this you simply need to contact the customer service team.
