About Bonus Buddy

Whether you want to pay for an unexpected medical bill or you want new wheels for your car, Bonus Buddy will attend to your needs.

This is the primary reason Bonus Buddy was founded in the first place, to help people when they need it most. To be of assistance to customers who are looking for affordable short-term loans.

Getting that dream holiday comes with a great deal of sacrifice and you might simply not be able to afford it outright.

A different approach to credit

If you're permanently employed, it's likely that you get a bonus during the course of the year. At Bonus Buddy, you can apply for an advance and repay it with the money for your bonus.

All this means is that the instant online loan will be paid with the money from your incentive bonus. However, in order to qualify for this service, you have to apply at least two months prior to the date of your bonus.

When you need a quick and affordable loan that is tailored to your specific needs, Bonus Buddy can help you.

The loan calculator will give you an estimate of the amount you have to pay as well as the interest you'll be charged.

Bonus Buddy urges customers to take the figures shown in the personal finance calculator as accurate and factual and ensure they have the budget to make the required payments.

Should you change your mind after seeing the figures on the loan calculator, no problem. At the end of the day, nobody knows your budget and what's good for you more than you do.

What do I need to apply for credit at Bonus Buddy?
