What is Amigo?

Amigo has made a name for itself in the UK loans market by offering “guarantor” loans – loans which are guaranteed by a relative or friend (hence the name) of the borrower. The guarantor promises to step in and pay off the loan in the event that the borrower is unable to do so, for whatever reason.

For those who feel let down by mainstream lenders, either because they don’t meet eligibility criteria or because their credit history is less than perfect, companies like Amigo can provide invaluable access to finance, but it does come at the cost of relatively high interest rates.

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.

      Hi Jimbon,

      Thanks for leaving a question on finder.

      Both Amigo and TrustTwo stipulate that the applicant and guarantor must be UK residents (for TrustTwo the guarantor must be a UK homeowner).

      Cheers,
      Joel
