After 8 amazing years we’ve recently let our Likely Loans product have a well-earned rest.
From September 2022 we changed our Likely Loans product to Finio Loans. This means we’re no longer offering Likely Loans for new customers. Instead, new customers are able to choose between applying for a Finio Loan or an Oakbrook Loan.
We still have a lot of customers with a Likely Loan, and we continue to support them with the very best service they’ve come to expect from us.
If you’re a Likely Loans customer who is looking for help and support, we have a dedicated page on our Finio Loans website for you. You can access this via the Finio Loans website or click here.

Working in partnership with our customers
