What are quick loans?

What are often reffered to as 'quick loans' are usually loans that can be paid out the same day as your application was submitted.

High-cost short-term loans (HCST), often known as payday loans are, as their title suggests, loans designed to be repaid over a short term. Loans range from £100 to £1000 and are generally repaid within 6 months. These loans can be expensive and are usually high APR - they should only be considered as a last resort.
