If you want a short term cash loan, you can request between €100 to €600. We sometimes loan larger amounts but you would have to have long track record with us and to show regular payments on your loan.

We set individual application limits as part of our commitment to responsible lending. They are not designed so you can rapidly increase the size of loans, and approval of your next application is never guaranteed. The amount of money you are able to apply for may change and we will always carry out our usual checks, including a credit check, when you apply for a loan. Please not our loans are not designed as a continual source of credit and will be unsuitable if you need to borrow for a longer period.

Simply select how much you’d like to borrow and the amount of weeks you wish to repay it back. Before you apply, we’ll show you exactly how much you have to repay including interest each week.

We will never ask you for a fee to process your loan application. We are aware of several sophisticated online scams involving companies impersonating legitimate lending institutions. Never apply for a loan from a entity that is not authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland. ALWAYS check the official Central Bank Website to see if the firm is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland. The register of authorised firms can be accessed at  http://registers.centralbank.ie/LenderSearchPage.aspx

Yes, every time you apply for a Umbrella Credit LTD loan we carry out checks with credit reference agencies to verify who you are and to help assess whether the loan is affordable. For each check we make, we leave a record, known as an application footprint. Making lots of applications for credit in a short period of time will leave multiple footprints and may indicate to lenders that you are experiencing financial difficulties.

Accepted in principle is a step towards full approval of your loan application. When we receive you loan request we will carry out a credit check and credit score. If you are successful at this stage you will be given accepted in principle notification. However an agent will need to call to you home to check your documentation and confirm your loan.

If everything is OK with the check we will accept your application in principle which means we are happy to lend to you as long as the assessment of your income and outgoings shows you can afford the loan repayments and you have suitable proof of ID and proof of address.
