Wonga offers cash deposits within minutes and loans are available up to £750, for between five and 30 days. Wonga's real-time and fully automated loan processing systems means more speed, convenience, and flexibility than a typical online lender, or indeed any traditional form of credit.

In contrast to credit cards, traditional loans and bank overdrafts, the idea is that money is repaid quickly, thereby avoiding long-term debt. The alternative for many consumers might be an unauthorized overdraft, which can incur significant bank charges, bounced cheques, or a cash loan from friends or family.
