We believe that everyone should have access to a financial solution regardless of past credit history.
Life does not always go as planned. We get it. Whether you have got unexpected medical costs or an unfriendly electricity bill, a Cash Advance loan could be the answer. Cash advance loans can be useful in a wide range of circumstances – from getting emergency repairs on your car or house, to buying a replacement for a broken phone. Whatever the reason you need a cash advance, Cigno can help.
As part of the application process, you will have the opportunity to choose a repayment schedule that is affordable and corresponds with your payday. It is important that you choose the repayment schedule that you can afford while still being able to pay your ongoing everyday expenses. If not, then you should consider other options.
We use direct debiting so you don’t even need to think about your repayments, but we also send reminders so you know exactly when the repayments will come out of your account.
If during your loan, you cannot make a repayment when required, just let us know. We as your agent will arrange a new affordable payment schedule that best suits your needs. Once you have repaid your loan, Cigno can assist you to apply for future loans whenever you need them.
