It's all in the name

Our personal loans really are 'personal'. Every loan is assessed on its own merit by a real person. 

You're not just another automated decision.

Make sure you can afford the repayments. A loan is an important financial commitment and failure to keep to the monthly repayments may result in an adverse effect on your credit rating. Always talk to us if you are experiencing financial difficulties.
