About uborro
uborro is the world’s first online service that allows you to get a short-term loan for £100-£100,000 secured by your Jewellery, Watches, Gold, Gemstones & other valuables. We typically loan you 40% of the secondhand value of your goods. We are the online sales agent for Sutton’s and Robertson’s, the most reputable and long-established providers of these types of secured loans in the UK.
Securing loans by pledging personal assets is one of the oldest forms of financial trading, and a fantastic way to solve short-term cash flow issues. Over five hundred years ago, Isabella of Castile pledged her jewellery to secure the funds to send Christopher Columbus to the New World. There has been upsurge in the industry since the 1980's credit boom and this has continued into the new millennium with customers preferring this convenient, no-fuss, best value form of short-term borrowing.
It is a popular misconception that businesses who trade in these types of secured loans want to take ownership of your goods. The reverse is true; we want you to pay-off your loan and get your goods back. The reason for this is that if you get your goods back you are more likely to be a repeat customer. Our interest rate are very attractive when compared to our counterpart pay-day loan, cheque-cashing and sale-buy-back operators, and the risks to you regarding credit-rating and bad-debt are zero.
All of this means that around 88% of people who take out this type of loan are repeat customers. We look forward to loaning cash to you again and again.
