I started paying attention after my fifth loan through Babyloan. Every approval came back in under 2 minutes, and the money was available quickly enough that I stopped planning small expenses the way I used to. That felt useful at first. Then I realised my behaviour had shifted.
Over a 45-day period, I borrowed 5 times. None of the loans were larger than £140, and every repayment was made on time. The platform did exactly what it promised. No delays. No confusing steps. That's probably why I found myself opening the app even when I could have waited a few days instead.
The interesting part isn't the approval speed. It's what happens after people discover how little effort borrowing requires.
I'd be more interested in seeing repeat usage rates than total registrations. If 100,000 people sign up but only 20% return, that's one story. If 65% keep using the service for small, routine borrowing, that's a very different pattern.
I also keep wondering how $BABY will fit into that longer-term behaviour. If $BABY ends up rewarding responsible repayments instead of simply encouraging more borrowing, that could push habits in a healthier direction. If not, convenience alone may keep driving usage.
For now, I can't say the product encouraged me to borrow irresponsibly. But I can say it made borrowing feel almost ordinary. That's a subtle change, and probably the most important thing I've noticed since using Babyloan and following the role babyloan might eventually play...
