1Plus1 is a relatively small, family-run direct lender (not a broker) that prides itself on being secure and trusted – having received a Gold Trusted Service award from the reviews platform feefo. Although you can expect higher rates with any guarantor loan, 1Plus1 will consider anyone for a loan and offers quick access to funds. Many 1Plus1 customers get the funds in their account the same day they apply.

Our calculator lets you pick how much you want to borrow over a time frame that suits you, so you can estimate how much you would pay back each month and pay back overall. We base our calculations on 1Plus1 Loans’ representative APR, but it’s important to note that your circumstances can affect the rate you’re offered.

What is a guarantor loan?

Rather than lending based on your credit score or your assets, guarantor loans require a second person to act as second signatory and security. This means that someone who has a better credit rating or who owns property can apply for the loan with you, so long as they agree to meet any payments you can’t. If your credit rating is low or non-existent, this can be one of your only options for securing some extra finance. Fortunately, they also count towards your future credit rating, so if you always pay on time you may find it easier to get finance through the regular lending streams next time.

Am I eligible for a 1Plus1 loan?

As long as you are not currently bankrupt or have a IVA, 1Plus1 will consider you for a loan. However there are quite a few criteria your guarantor will have to meet for your loan to be considered. They must:

  • Be 18+ or over 21 if they are not a homeowner. They must also be aged under 75 at the time the loan completes.
  • Be a resident in the UK. They can be a homeowner or a tenant with a very good credit rating. Unfortunately Channel Islands residents can’t currently act as your guarantor with 1Plus1.
  • Have a UK bank account and a valid UK debit card.
  • Not be currently bankrupt or with an IVA.
  • They must be able to meet the payment if you cannot.
  • They cannot be a spouse that lives with you, but can be a cohabiting parent.

How do I apply for a 1Plus1 loan?

  1. Go to the 1Plus1 website and fill in your details on the “Apply” page.
  2. Get your guarantor to register and receive a unique guarantor code if they are accepted.
  3. Apply the guarantor code to your loan application, and apply for a 1Plus1 loan.
  4. You’ll get a quick decision and the funds could be in your account the same day.

1Plus1 staff are available online around the clock, 7 days a week.
