About Drafty

Drafty is a UK digital lender offering personal and short-term loans, including options for borrowers with imperfect credit. Decisions can be very fast, which is useful for urgent needs — but speed should never replace a careful check of APR, term and total repayable. Drafty sits in the specialist lending segment rather than the prime high-street market.

Drafty profile

About Moneyboat

Moneyboat offers UK short-term loans for smaller amounts over a few months. Representative APRs sit in the high-cost short-term credit category, so the product should only be used when cheaper options are unavailable and the repayment plan is realistic. Check the total amount repayable in the representative example before you apply.

Things to check

  • Confirm current fees, eligibility and account availability with the provider.
  • Check whether the product, wrapper or plan you need is still offered.
  • Read the provider’s own documents before you apply or transfer.
