i have just paid off a loan on behalf of someone who should never been approved for a loan and was being chased. the second that it was paid there was an immediate offer to take out another loan with 292% interest - loan £400 and pay back £600 in 63 days time. the site immediately saved my card details and no way to delete them. also no way to delete an account. I am sure that this company is operating within the law but is completely unethical and preying on the vulnerable.

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service – No Compassion or Support for Vulnerable Customers By Matilda
I recently contacted Ondal Loans about a short-term financial issue — I have a loan due at the end of this month but, due to temporary difficulties, needed to ask if the payment could be deferred or extended by just a few days. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
I spoke with a representative named Matilda, who was very cold and dismissive throughout the call. Instead of showing any understanding or offering possible solutions, she bluntly told him that whatever he does, it will affect his credit file anyway — which came across as careless and unhelpful. Her tone was robotic and lacked empathy, which only made the situation worse.
I struggles with anxiety, and the way I was spoken to actually triggered an episode afterward. When I later spoke to a supervisor, although the answer was still the same (that nothing could be done to avoid a negative impact on his credit file), at least the supervisor was more polite and human in their approach.
It’s very disappointing that a company dealing with vulnerable customers can show so little compassion or flexibility. A bit of understanding and empathy goes a long way — especially when someone is reaching out early to avoid problems.
I strongly suggest Ondal Loans review their customer service training, especially in how staff communicate with people facing financial stress.

I have just received my second loan from Ondal and I can honestly say the whole process was complete in around 10 minutes. Easy straight forward application and once your accepted the money is available almost right away. It's great for short term and you can pay it off without debt lingering for months on end ,no stress . Brilliant

Thank you for your feedback regarding the service. It's greatly appreciated!
Very good experience.
This is my second loan with Ondal, first one paid back in 63 days, not a huge amount of interest on top then got the second one with even less interest to pay back in 63 days.
One of the best ones I’ve used and would recommend highly to use these.

AVOID
Only mentioned AFTER sending the loan that it's to be paid back in ONE installment!! Had to pay £1500 unexpectedly for vets bills and another £200 then for euthanasia so let these sharks know I will struggle to pay back in full by the date it's due and they basically said tough if not paid back on time then they'll bung another load of interest on. Absolute scum of the earth nothing but a loan shark and they'll reply to this with another load of tripe. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Discrimination
I have applied for a further loan with Ondal on three separate occasions, having previously been successful in being approved for a £200 loan in June 2025, which has duly been paid back in full and in advance.
However, due to being on disability benefits, I cannot provide payslips to prove my income as I am unemployed. I have therefore provided a screenshot of my UC award via my UC online journal and a copy of my ADP award letter received from the Scottish Government to evidence my income, as well as providing copies of my bank account statements to evidence my sources of income.
I have been told all of the above is unacceptable as proof of my income. Eh? How else can I prove my income if the above evidence isn't acceptable?
The whole application process is becoming more and more discrimatory and needlessly tiresome and prolonged.
They are making a mug of me and others who have been subjected to this nonsense.
I have already proven my credit worthiness and trustworthiness, so what is there problem?

Dreadful customer service
Pretty easy to get the loan. Super high interest as you can imagine. Contacted customer service with some question, got a blunt response which answered none of my questions. Emailed again twice, still waiting for a response more than a week after. Took the hit and repaid the loan in full almost 30 days early. Shocking company in general.
