How Creditspring works

  • Borrow up to £2,400 per year, depending on your membership

  • Receive your credit as two separate loans

  • Repay each loan over 6 fixed monthly instalments

  • Pay no interest on your loans

  • One fixed membership cost, with no hidden fees

With Creditspring, you repay each of your advances in six monthly instalments. Once the first advance is repaid, you can access the second, as long as you’ve stayed in line with your credit agreement. This structure is designed to give you clarity and control, particularly if you’ve struggled with credit in the past.

What our members
say about us

When can I access funds?

If you’re approved and choose to become a member:

  • There is a 14-day cooling-off period

  • After this period, you can request your first advance

  • Payments are made seven days a week (excluding bank holidays)

Creditspring is not designed for instant same-day emergency cash. It’s built for more structured borrowing, where you know the costs and repayments upfront.

Does Creditspring provide loans for people with bad credit?

Yes. We consider applications from people with a range of credit histories.

We look at more than just your credit score when assessing eligibility. We assess affordability and creditworthiness using a number of factors, including open banking, to understand your overall financial situation (Representative 83.1% APR).

Approval is subject to status and affordability checks.

Can this help build my credit history?

Yes, it can! If you make your repayments on time you can build your credit score. Remember, other factors can affect your score.

We report repayment behaviour to credit reference agencies. Making payments on time demonstrates positive repayment behaviour, which may help you build your credit history over time.
