Doorstep Loans Like Provident

We estimate that around 25 people are searching for doorstep loans like Provident each day via Google search. This company has been trading since the year 1880 and over this prestigious history they have always been the dominant market leader. This dominance has swayed so much in their favour that I think that many companies have tended to stay away from this particular niche. One sign of this is that there are only several known doorstep lenders in operation (Here Is the List). Most of these firms aren’t well known and they don’t tend to offer any notable service features. There is one exception, although trading locations are limited.

This lender is Mutual who are much cheaper than any other lender competing in this sector. Other than being a top priced solution, they are the only competing company to provide customers with an online login facility and finally repayments can be made not just weekly yet also fortnightly or monthly. As impressive as they may be in this regard, their service is only available at this time to those who reside in either East Anglia, East Midlands or South Yorkshire. Are there any other doorstep loans like Provident worth using? Well, the best outsider when factoring market share is Shopacheck (they also operate online as SFS Loans).

Although their price is higher than the market leader, they are experienced and they importantly have a wide network of 1800 agents. This means that they should be able to cover you wherever you may be located across the UK. Just be aware that their minimum age restriction imposed starts from 21 years of age. Another company like Provident is LoansatHome4U where the price is matched. Their coverage shouldn’t be too bad either since they have around 700 agents working for them. Although your options are limited, there are of course many online lenders that can help you out (the Instalment Companies offer a similar repayment span of several months).
