Is Sunny a direct lender?

Sunny is a loan introducer whose broker partner works with a market-leading panel of lenders. Their aim is to find a lender who will approve your loan application and transfer you the money you want to borrow. By applying with us, you know that they have searched the market to find the best loan for your circumstances.

When should I consider a £500 loan?

We recommend you only take on an emergency payday loan in an amount that you need. So if your car repairs come to £490, a £500 loan will more than cover the costs. Don’t apply for more emergency money than necessary though, to avoid paying more interest or making repayments for longer than you’d like.

What can I use a £500 loan for?

You can use the money for anything you like, but we recommend you only apply if it’s an emergency situation and you feel confident you can make the repayments after. It’s not a good idea to apply for a £500 loan so that you can make payments on another payday loan, as this could worsen your financial situation. If you need any help when it comes to your finances, speak to a free, impartial expert such as Stepchange.

What kind of interest rate can I get on a £500 loan?

Our Representative APR is 89.9% (Variable). If you have a low credit score you may pay a higher interest rate, as you could be seen as a riskier borrower. We have more information about this in our bad credit loans guide.

But sometimes, these emergencies can cost a lot of money and you may find yourself needing to borrow £500 or more for these repairs. For some people that can be a real strain on their finances.

At Sunny you can apply for a loan in value anywhere from £100 to £2,500, giving you the freedom to apply only for the amount you really need. For a £500 loan, your repayment term can be from three to thirty-six months but it can be structured in a way that suits you.

£500 loans are a good solution in an emergency, if you need financial support before payday. They are transferred directly into your bank account, resulting in little to no delays when it comes to sorting out that unexpected expense.

A £500 loan can help cover expenses such as having to replace a washing machine or paying to fix damage to your car. You can use your money to get the fix sorted quickly, then make repayments once payday rolls around.

These loans ensure you don’t fall behind on other important expenses, such as bills and direct debits, while also helping in an emergency. What you borrow is paid back in manageable instalments, but we also encourage customers to repay their loans early if they can and save on interest by doing so.
