Three Steps to your loan
Step 1 What is your loan for?
We know that borrowing money is a big commitment, so make sure you know how you will spend the money before you borrow. It will be easier to repay your loan if you know that it is paying off your new sofa, holiday, car, etc.
Step 2 Can you afford it?
Not sure if you can afford a loan? Try our simple Budget Planner. If you don’t need the money straight away you might be better off saving with us for while then either using your savings or you may qualify for a lower interest rate with us. Spreading the cost over a longer period will reduce your monthly payments, but events such as Christmas and holidays will repeat every year so should be paid off within 12 months.
As a responsible lender, we will make an assessment of affordability and won’t knowingly lend more than you can afford. Missed payments will appear on your credit history and may affect your ability to borrow elsewhere in the future.
Step 3 Apply!
Our loans are very competitively priced and include life insurance (terms and conditions apply). To get the best deal you should save regularly with us and complete your income and outgoings statement as accurately and honestly as you can.
To complete your application you will need:
1. Information about your income
2. Details of your expenses
3. Three months bank statements
