Safetrade 247

Compared them with my bank's own online transfer service first and they came out cheaper for what I needed. First time using them so I was a bit nervous about it. Signing up took longer than I expected because they asked for a lot of ID photos. Once that was sorted the transfer was fine.

Compared a few lenders before going with this one for a small top up. The charge for taking the money out early was the thing that caught my eye most. It was lower than the others I looked at. Set up was simple enough and the payment went through on schedule.

I was rather nervous about arranging a loan online, but the application was quite straightforward and the questions were sensible. The decision came through the following morning and the money reached my account two days later, exactly as they said it would. I did appreciate being told each stage plainly, and I have no quarrel with how it was handled.

Shopped around a few services for a transfer to family abroad. This one gave me the best rate by a fair margin. The money turned up within the timescale they quoted.

I needed a dependable way to send money to my son's landlord while he was overseas. The sign up was straightforward, though I did have to find my documents twice. Everything arrived as promised and the staff who answered my query were courteous and helpful. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Weighed up a few different providers before settling on this one for a larger transfer. They came out cheapest once the fees were added up properly. Booking took a few minutes and the money reached the recipient quicker than I thought it would. Would do it this way again.

Took out a short personal loan through them to cover a boiler repair that came up out of nowhere. The application took about ten minutes online and I had an answer the same afternoon, which was fine. Money landed in my account the next working day. Interest was a bit higher than I'd hoped, but for a quick sort out it was a fair deal and I'd use them again if I needed to.

Put the same transfer through my bank and through this and this was way cheaper. Done on my phone in a couple of minutes between meetings. Got the confirmation and the money went where it needed to go.

Sort of thought it would be a faff but it was pretty quick to set up. Got the money in my account the same day which was nice. Only thing is the verification step asked me to upload the same document twice. Still, it worked out fine.

Honestly the sign up took like five mins on my phone, no faff with ID uploads. Sent money to my mate's account for a night out and it landed really fast. Customer chat was useful too when I got stuck on one screen. Would use them again for sure, no complaints at all.

I needed to find the money quite urgently for a dental bill that the practice wanted settled before my treatment could continue. I was rather nervous about applying online, but the process was clear and the questions were sensible. The approval came through within the hour, and the funds reached my account the following morning, which was exactly what I needed. The repayment schedule was easy to follow and I've had no difficulties since.

The fee was lower than I expected when I looked at the breakdown before confirming. I was moving money between two of my own accounts for a bill and wanted the cheapest route that still arrived the same day. It came through within a few hours and the total cost was clear from the start, which is what I care about most with these things.

Really happy with how this went, they were quick and clear from start to finish. Booked the service online and got a confirmation straight away with the times. Pricing was upfront with no surprises at the end. Would be my first choice again for this sort of thing.

Needed a quick way to get my deposit sorted for a flat I'd just been offered. Honestly the signup was pretty painless and didn't take ages. They asked a couple extra questions about my income which was a bit annoying. Money came through the next morning so no complaints really.

Used the app to send some money and it kept logging me out halfway through. Had to start the whole thing again twice. Eventually got it through but it was annoying. Support took a couple of days to reply.

The verdict is it's fine but not brilliant. Set up a payment plan and the first one went through a day late with no real explanation. Customer chat took a while to get back to me, which was the bit I found frustrating. Price was reasonable for what it is and the rest was OK.

I needed to move a deposit across before a deadline and my bank was being slow about it. Knew the process well from before so the forms were quick to fill in. Everything went through without any fuss and the updates came through as they said they would.

Used them to send money to my daughter in Spain for her rent. The rate they gave was better than what my bank offered on the same amount. Took a fair bit longer than they said to reach her account though. Still good value for what it saves.

Compared it with the big high street lenders before I signed up and this came out much better on the monthly figure. Application was quick and I got a decision the same afternoon. Repayments come out on the day they said. Nothing to report there.

Honestly the verdict is it did what I needed, I got the cash in a day. The app is a bit clunky though, took me a while to find where to check my repayment dates. The interest was a touch higher than I'd hoped, not massively. Still sorted, just wouldn't say it's the smoothest.
