Ikano Bank

Good morning, I'm just looking at appling for a loan through MSE website and the 1st one with best eligibility is Ikano Bank. Is this a safe bank to use?? Just never heard of them before and a bit weary as its a 5 year loan so wanted to just check if all ok first.

    The secret to avoiding weariness is to get an early night.

    There is nothing unsafe about Ikano Bank.

    Nothing wrong with Ikano Bank, they used to provide the finance to consumers for items sold by 1 of the bed retailers.

    I take it you have googled Ikano Bank ?
