Moneybarn have been brilliant. And even if my credit rating improves, I'd still look to use them again because the customer service is so good.

Home > About us
Founded in 1992, we are one of the UK’s leading lenders of specialist car, van, and motorbike finance. We’re experts in helping customers to access finance when they might have struggled to get approval from mainstream lenders.
Our customers represent 1 in 5 of UK adults who have a poor credit history but need a reliable vehicle to suit their lifestyle and financial situation. Our lending decision is based on how much an individual can reasonably afford to spend on finance each month, and this ensures that our customers are comfortable with their Conditional Sale agreement.
In 2015 we expanded our product range by offering finance for vans and in 2017, we ventured into offering finance for motorbikes. Most recently in 2021, we expanded our product range into the near-prime vehicle finance market.
