We provide small, affordable loans to meet people's urgent needs now, and help develop their financial well-being so they can make good decisions with money in the future. We are a for-profit social enterprise: the first truly responsible lender of our kind. We believe lending should be fair and everyone should be treated equally.We wish we didn't need to exist, but we do. Many people struggle when faced with unexpected costs. Rather than take advantage of money misery, we want to end it. Salad Money is different because:– We exist to solve the high-cost loan problem– Our service funds free financial well-being support in the form of benefits checking.– We behave responsibly and we invite scrutiny– We are overseen by an independent body– We use open banking for loan approval, not credit scoresHow does Salad Money work?We offer loans of between £500 and £1000, paid back over 12 or 18 months to public sector workers in the UK.
