About Sunny Loans
Sunny Loans was a UK-based online lender that offered flexible short-term loans. It was known for offering payday loans and other types of short-term credit solutions. In 2020, Sunny Loans went into administration after several customer complaints. Sunny Loans is now a credit broker, not a lender. Sunny is a registered trading name of Upward Finance Limited, an appointed representative of Flux Funding Limited.
Drafty is a direct lender. This means that if you take a loan out with us, it’s only us you have contact with.
Did Sunny Loans go into administration?
In 2020, Sunny Loans (a trading name of Elevate Credit International Limited) went into administration. A number of other payday lenders went out of business during the same period. This was partly due to the number of customer complaints.
However, Sunny is back, but they are now operating as a credit broker, not a lender.
How is Drafty different to Sunny Loans?

FAQ – Sunny Loans
Is Sunny Loans lending again?
Sunny is now a credit broker, not a lender. They are under the registered trading name of Upward Finance Ltd.
What loans does Sunny offer?
Sunny no longer offer loans. They are a credit broker, which means that they find customers short-term loans with other lenders.
Does Drafty do a credit check?
Yes, when you apply, Drafty performs a soft search credit check as part of its affordability checks. This helps us understand your personal circumstances without affecting your credit report.
If you decide to borrow, we carry out a hard check. This will be recorded on your credit record, like with any other lender.
How long do I have to repay a Sunny loan?
Since Sunny is a credit broker, they don’t provide the loan themselves, so you’ll repay the lender, not Sunny. With Drafty, there’s no middleman – you apply directly with us and make your repayments to us.
