PayPoint retailers have been given the chance to apply for quick and affordable loans, following a partnership expansion.

After a successful launch between Funding Circle and Handepay in October 2022, PayPoint has confirmed its entire network of 28,000 retailers on its loyalty scheme, can now apply for a Funding Circle loan.

The applications are expected to take no longer than ten minutes to complete and no more than a 24-hour wait for a decision to be made.
