I’d be utterly ashamed if one of my kids worked at a company like this. If they created one like this id probably disown them. The whole business model is based on exploiting people who are struggling... See more

Very Poor service

This is not aimed at any personnel, I have been trying to change my email address, but when I log into my account it won't let me,
All so I keep receiving text messages I can increase my loan, once again I log in and it says my not eligible, if that is the case then please don't text me I can,
I haven't received any emails from yourselves, and when I spoke on live chat your systems are been upgraded.
This I find very frustrating

fast cash transfer very helpful

i have used pounds to pocket twice and in both situations needed the funds immediately.the advisor i spoke to was very helpful and after veryfying my online application the funds were in my account after 20mins which was a great releif.
my second application was much simpler.i did it all online and got the funds in less than half an hour.only negative is the longer you keep the loan the higher interest it will cost.

Number 1 in customer service

PoundstoPocket, offers an amazing service when you are in a crisis. The customer service is absolutely spot-on, they are so helpful and polite and they make you feel as if they really care, PoundstoPocket offers an exemplary service, number one in my opinion. If I am in need they will be the first company I contact.

You wont be able to reloan even with a perfect payment history

Ive been a customer of pounds to pocket for a couple of years now and have had 3 loans previously, I have now nearly finished my current loan and could really do with the money but they have declined me, I have never missed a payment and have always paid on time, I get the impression that they will only lend to you so many times and then they will refuse you as they have made there money out of you.
Was really happy up until this, and from reading some of the other reviews this seems like common practise, but never mind, another company will give me it and I will now become a valued customer of there's as I never miss paying, YOUR LOSS!

CUSTOMER TRUST

The company helped me out however despite my excellent payment history they fail to trust me with a further loan , i never missed one payment and always paid on time . i was declined any further finance from them despite my top class payment of my current loan which is almost paid off , sorry but i would not really recommend this company due to very high interest charges and lack of trust to very good customer ,

Easy To Use & Very Helpful

By far the best loan company i have used. I needed some extra funds and pounds to pocket came top of the list. I certainly would use them again and we recommend them.

Fab site, easy application, lightning fast lending TOTAL PACKAGE! :)

My total Pounds to Pocket experience has been pleasant, efficient and fast. I find the pounds to pocket website extremely easy to navigate, with the main application form and lending decision process being quick, uncomplicated and fully explanatory. Whether I'm updating personal details or checking my loan eligibility, the site is always clear. Their 'Live Chat' service is another absolutely fantastic feature. The customer service representatives are knowledgable, polite and provide instant help (nothing is too much trouble). However I found all other contact methods for Pounds to Pocket (phone, post, email etc) just as clear and helpful. When all is said and done, I would without a doubt recommend Pounds to pocket to all my friends for quick cash when required.

Great

Good customer service and the company does exactly what it says. My only problem was is that you have to contact them to pay a loan off early. I know it may not be in their business model to help customers save money by letting them pay early but I would like to be able to do it via the website instead of contacting them direct.

They are humans :)

It is refreshing to be able to chat with someone who is not robot-like, even if they still have to follow the instructions stricktly. I find Pounds to Pockets responses quick and to the point, friendly, understanding and polite. Thanks team!
