Fluro (formerly Lending Works) loan calculator and 2025 review

Our Fluro loan calculator will help you work out how much you'll pay back on a Fluro personal loan, and how it compares.

Fluro

Our verdict

With 24 hour funding and no charges when overpaying or paying in full, Fluro offers fast and flexible loans. However, it's best to explore alternatives as you might find better rates elsewhere, and if you have poor credit, you won't be eligible. Fluro also doesn't offer alterative loan types, such as joint applications. Overall, it might be solid choice for those with good credit who want flexibility, quick access to funds and are tech savvy.
Pros
  • Make overpayments at no extra cost
  • Repay loan in full without any charges
  • Receive funds within 24 hours of approval
  • Manage and control your loan through the Fluro app
Cons
  • You could find better rates elsewhere
  • Unlikely to be eligible with poor credit
  • No joint applications
  • If you're not tech savvy, you may want to look elsewhere

Our calculator lets you pick how much you want to borrow, over a timeframe that suits you, to estimate how much you would pay back each month and overall. We base our calculations on Fluro’s representative APR, but it’s important to note that credit is subject to status and your circumstances may affect the actual rate you’re offered.

In 2022, Lending Works rebranded to Fluro. If you’re an existing Lending Works customer, there may be some changes to your loan.

Frequently asked questions

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.
