GiffGaff are going into the loan business, in a couple of weeks you will be able to borrow the money via a peer-to-peer loan system:

It appears from the article that they are in the market now (with this scheme) to become a 'big lender'. As this wasn't their original purpose I can understand members being concerned ...

Email as received from giffgaff for further info......

 

giffgaff money has arrived

Main email image

We're pleased as punch to announce that giffgaff money has now launched.

Firstly, thanks to all our members who shared their thoughts earlier this month to help shape what giffgaff money should look like.

We're very excited to be bringing our honest, no-nonsense approach to the world of personal finance, giving our members the opportunity to borrow money when they need it.

Our first product under giffgaff money, gives members access to fairer and simpler loans that fit their needs, plus using the power of our community we can help people make the right choices. We recently spoke about this at our recent Open Day, and since have been discussing this in the Community.

Our CEO Mike Fairman explains a bit more about giffgaff money in our blog.

Want to find out more, check out giffgaff money.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I wonder how O2 will react to this as they use their network.
