1. What is LoanTube?

LoanTube is a trading style of Tiger Lion Financial Limited. Tiger Lion Financial Limited is based in London as a credit broker. There are a few important information about us which we will simplify and write in bullet points for an easy read. We have a lot of missions, one among them is a simplification. We are already making loans simplified, but apart from services, there are other things too. We will take care of everything.

If you are still reading on, then we would like to convey that we are glad to meet you (even though virtually). What do we do? We are a bunch of simple people with a common interest, that is, to make this world a better place.

Moreover, we also carry out the business of credit brokerage in the United Kingdom. Our Company does not provide any loans or make any credit decisions. We are easy people, dealings with us is much easier than it seems.

We forgot to tell you! This policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions and Cookies Policy into which this Policy is incorporated by reference.

2. Our Services

LoanTube is one-of-a-kind loan brokering firm which operates in the United Kingdom. By calling ourselves “one-of-a-kind”, we mean it (we are not being repetitive here, but we are just ringing a bell). Now, you must be thinking that why are we claiming to be different? You’ve hit the bull’s eye. Everything about us is different in its own way. Right from the website, its content, and the services we offer.

We do not operate like other loan comparison sites. Here at LoanTube, we place paramount importance in maintaining transparency and your trust.

LoanTube works as a comparison platform which compares actual APRs (Annual Percentage Rate) and monthly repayments from multiple lenders to ensure that you are not opting for any loan under a deception, and that you have multiple loan options to choose from. We have a proprietary loan matching engine which connects the borrowers with suitable lenders in real-time.

In short, what you see on our website is what you get in real. Because we are real and our ethics don’t allow us to deceive our customers.

4. What is a Privacy Policy?

Before going through the whole Privacy Policy, we would like to educate and inform our users to understand the meaning and role of this policy. We are real people who are trying to help out those who are in need. And for that, we need to make sure that everything that goes on our website has an explanation. A human explanation which is easy to understand and go through.

A Privacy Policy is a legal statement that discloses all of the ways a company or an organization accumulate, discloses, manages and uses a customer’s data. When you share your personal information with us, you do it with a certain amount of trust. We don’t want to lose you or your trust. Hence, we will explain how we are safeguarding your personal information.

Besides, the right to privacy is a highly developed area of law in Europe. GDPR imposes stringent rules on the collection of personal information belonging to EU residents, including a requirement for privacy policies to be more concise, clearly-worded, and transparent in their disclosure of any collection, processing, storage, or transfer of personally identifiable information.

We hope that you will not face any problems in understanding our Privacy Policy and even if you face issues with it, don’t hesitate to speak to us. We will be happy to hear your voice and assist you.

You should also read our Terms and Conditions and Cookies Policy carefully alongside this Privacy Policy before you decide to use our services.
