    There are delays with budgeting loan applications at the moment. You will be contacted once a decision is made.

    I applied for a budgeting loan on the 15th April 2024 and had the money 5 days after applying. ..The text regarding waiting 21 days usually happens when they are manually reviewing the claim. Most claims are paid automatically by a computer system, but occasionally they are processed manually which takes longer, this happened to me last year I had to wait 19 days.
