Everyday Loans comments on the award...
"Everyday Loans is a face-to-face lender that offers personal loans to people that struggle to access credit from mainstream and near-prime providers. Not ideal in a pandemic with lockdowns and a challenging regulatory environment. So, it goes without saying that we’re thrilled that we have been recognised by both industry experts and so many of our borrowers. Customer service is at the very heart of what we do and this award is a testament to all the hard of our teams up and down the UK. To receive such a respected award for three consecutive years is very satisfying indeed. I’d like to thank all my colleagues within our nationwide network of branches and all the support staff in Bourne End for their hard work and ongoing commitment to fantastic customer outcomes. The dedication and resilience they have shown in the face of the pandemic makes me prouder than ever to be part of the business."

Topcashback comments on the award
"To go home with not one, but two awards at this year's Moneyfacts Consumer Awards is a real honour. As a company, TopCashback is always looking for ways to reduce its impact and do more for the environment. We know that many of our members feel the same way, which is why we introduced our Green Cashback function. We understand that it is the decision of our members how and where they spend their money, but our hope is that by adding this category to our site, we can make it easier for shoppers to discover brands that are committed to sustainable or ethical choices in some aspect of their business – and help them earn cashback too. We are delighted that Green Cashback has been recognised by both the public and experts, and we look forward to continuing to provide award-winning services for years to come!".
