How our loans work
We want you to have all the information you need to borrow confidently. Here are a few points to consider.
3 hour online loan approval*
Yes – when you apply online for loans less than €30,000, we really can turn it around this quickly. If you’re a customer with us, we already know a little bit about you, which makes it very straightforward for us to decide how much you can borrow. So, providing you apply telling us everything we need to know between Monday to Friday and between 9:00 and 17:00 (excluding bank holidays), we can let you know our decision within three hours. Once we approve your loan and you request your money, we will put the money into your Current Account.
Understanding our rates
Our personal loan interest rates at 8.65% and 8.95% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) are some of the most competitive and consistent on the market, but they are variable. If your rate changes, your repayment amounts stay the same. So, if the rate rises during the loan term, you will have to make extra payments at the end of the term, and if the rate falls, you might pay off your loan sooner.
A representative example for you:
A typical €1,500 one-year loan with a variable interest rate of 8.65% and 8.95% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the interest rate and APR does not vary during the term, has 12 monthly instalments of €130.48 and the total cost of credit (the total amount repayable less the amount of the loan) is €65.76. That means the total amount repayable over the course of the loan is €1,565.76. APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate which is the total cost of your loan over its term, taking into account both interest rate charged and other fees, as well as whether interest is charged monthly or quarterly.
