Our verdict

  • Savings account with a monthly fee of BBD 0 and a minimum deposit of BBD 1,000.
  • Quick turnaround on approved loans: Funds in as little as one business day.

Cons

  • Every application runs a hard credit check, which shows on your credit file.

Who it suits

  • Anyone consolidating debts or paying for home improvement, since the loan book covers personal, debt consolidation and car.
  • First-time buyers buying a home, as mortgage lending covers purchase and first time buyer.
  • Savers who will leave money untouched for the term, and anyone who wants cover paid in monthly instalments.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Borrowers after euro lending at a larger scale, since Creduma ES lends from from €12,000 and Sofkredit lends €12,000 to €300,000, while borrowing here stops at BBD 30,000.
  • Savers who need their money on demand, since deposits here are locked for the term and carry a penalty for early redemption, where Cashspace suits people comparing easy access savings.

Safety of your money

Capita Financial Services lends direct to the borrower, direct lender, so the balance sheet sits with the lender rather than a broker or a marketplace. Its licences name the Central Bank of Barbados and the Financial Services Commission of Barbados, along with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in St. Lucia. Borrowers deal with a named regulated lender on both sides.

Frequently asked questions

What does a personal loan cost?+

Borrowing is fixed rate, with loans of up to BBD 30,000 and terms of 12 to 60. Early repayment is free, so settling the balance sooner does not cost extra. The savings account carries a monthly fee of BBD 0.

Does applying affect my credit file?+

Applications use a hard credit check, so the search is recorded on your credit file and stays visible to other lenders for a while. That makes it worth checking your file and your budget before you apply rather than after.

How quickly does the money arrive?+

Speed is the strong point: Funds in as little as one business day. The credit check is the part that takes patience, and the fixed rate means the payment you are quoted is the payment you keep for the whole term.

How does the savings account work?+

The account is fixed, so a minimum deposit of BBD 1,000 opens it and the monthly fee is BBD 0. Interest is paid quarterly, semi-annually or at maturity, the money is locked for the term with a penalty for early redemption, and it auto-renews annually at the prevailing rate.

What kinds of lending are on offer?+

The book covers personal, debt consolidation and car, so personal, debt consolidation, car and student lending sit with the same lender. Mortgages cover purchase and first time buyer, and the brokerage arm places cover across auto, home and health with premiums paid in monthly instalments.

Which regulators are named on the licences?+

The licences name the Central Bank of Barbados and the Financial Services Commission of Barbados, plus the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in St. Lucia. Lending runs direct, direct lender, so the lender holds the balance sheet rather than passing it to a broker.

How do I reach support or make a claim?+

Support runs on email and phone. Claims have their own set of routes, phone, email and online claim forms via Claims Centre, so an auto, home or travel claim can be started online through the Claims Centre instead of going through general support.

Which markets does the lender serve?+

The lender is headquartered in Barbados and its licences cover Barbados and St. Lucia, so it serves those markets rather than a single market. Borrowing sits in the Barbados currency, and the savings minimum is in the same currency.
