    I applied for a loan online last Thursday and was accepted and signed the agreement online. I immediately got an email which said Congratulations your money is on its way and should be in your account within 3 working days but it hasn't reached my bank account yet. Should I be worried?

    Do the maths - what time Thursday did you apply - even if it was morning then 3 working days after is Friday Monday TUESDAY.
    If it was late it could be Wednesday.

    Anyone else thinking theres a lot a new posters on here discussing Post Office loans and wonder if some of them work for the PO marketing department?
  • I did think Tuesday, however, the money is still not showing in my bank, despite having received a text message from my bank to say that a new direct debit has been set up by Bank of Ireland (lender)!
  • I applied for a post office loan about 2 weeks ago. It was accepted straight away and I was told a copy of my contract would be sent in the post, for me to sign and date and uploads via a link emailed to me.

    5 days later I received the paperwork and I signed and dated and uploaded it like they asked.
    I havent had any response or fund in my account?

    You contacted them yet ?
  • I'd be phoning them - Bank of Ireland (the bank who Post Office uses to offer their services) is notorious for their poor customer service and slow actioning of things
  • Hey, any advice for me please? I applied today for a post office loan and it said, you've been accepted and subject to further checks the money will be in the bank within 2 days
    Am I accepted or what?? I've had no emails from them?
