Unsecured Loans (6.9% APR typical variable)
An Unsecured Loans is the same as a Personal Loan, but some creditors prefer to use different names to describe it. It is both ‘personal’ to you and unsecured, meaning that it allows you to borrow money without having to provide security against it, such as your home.
Instead of security, the loan provider (often a High Street Bank or Building Society) will base their decision on whether to grant you an unsecured loan by using your personal credit history. This is verified by a credit check to determine your credit rating.
Unsecured personal loans are not available for speculative purposes or business purposes.
Choosing the Right Unsecured Loan.
Personal loans are available for a range of different amounts and repayment terms. Depending on the amount and purpose of the loan, you will be able to choose from a range of repayment periods.
Larger loans such as those over £10,000 can usually be taken over longer terms i.e. 7 to 10 years. The minimum loan amount is typically £1,000 although some lenders do offer £500 and upwards. The maximum amount you can lend is £25,000, although this will vary between lenders and products.
