About SafetyNet Loans

Firstly, this lender has recently rebranded to SafetyNet although they have kept the Credit name in their new URL of www.safetynet.credit (was www.safetynetcredit.com). This is a company that has shown great innovation in short term lending in a similar fashion as seen with Wonga. They clearly haven’t imitated Wonga’s trajectory in becoming a household name, but to be fair they haven’t poured their profits into TV ad campaigning and sponsorships. More natural growth has been seen here, but they have attracted close to 500,000 customers. SafetyNet’s owner (Indigo Michael Ltd) started out life in 2012 through the launch of ClearAccount. SafetyNet’s launch followed in 2014, whilst ClearAccount became a financial tool and ended up being sold on. A further project (Tappily) was rolled out in 2017. This is a prime alternative delivering higher sums and lower interest.

As a credit line facility, you’ll be granted access to your determined limit 24/7. There is no need to reapply, you can instantly request more money when needed and repay across any short term. Whilst £100 is the minimum limit, once approved you can advance from just £20 inwards (moving £1 upwards). Overdraft protection is also built in to protect from excessive bank fees. There is an interest cap of 40 days that is handy if you lose your job, but repayments are taken when you’re paid that overrides this. Do note that online banking usage is required for all applicants. The lender is only permitted with read-only access that must be renewed every 90 days.

Rivals & Similar Lenders Like SafetyNet

SafetyNet’s biggest rival is Drafty who have been showing excellent growth themselves. Drafty is the only competitor that offers a credit line facility. It’s just a shame that they are very picky with who gets the green light for approval. If your score isn’t low then it may be worth applying for Tappily first of all for an improved rate and more funding. If they say no, then they’ll likely push on SNC as a backup offer for you. The rivals closely linked for popularity are CashFloat and Ferratum who have each been growing impressively over the past several months. Cash Asap are also a good fit when you are seeking flexible short terms where you can select the repayment day.
