I don't know about this company but one word of advice; don't give your bank card details to anyone operating on the internet in this sphere. A few years back I was badly stung by a company which purported to be offering loans but in reality was just a broker. With your card details they then charge upfront search fees. It was three weeks before I realised they were taking £50 per week from my account for nothing. The small print authorising them to do this, even if it exists, is so well hidden that it is almost impossible to find. Fortunately my bank refunded the money, but it was a salutory lesson.
