We are a community

 

Hoot is a community owned co-operative that serves the needs of its members. When you join Hoot you become part of a family of members and get access to safe savings and affordable loans.

 

We estimate that we save our members up to £1m per year in loan interest, had they taken comparable loans from other lenders. This community dividend enables our members to support each other whilst at the same time getting a good deal.

We will treat you as an individual

 

When you apply for a Hoot loan we take your individual circumstances into account rather than rely on a computer to say yes or no.

 

We lend to a wide range of people, even those with bad credit; but we won’t lend if you can’t afford it or if it means you will get into more unmanageable debt.
