A loan to consolidate your credit would allow you to make one monthly repayment at a fixed rate. Our credit consolidation loan is offered at 41.2% APR for loans up to £1,000, and 18.9% APR for higher value loans.
When considering debt consolidation, it's important to consider what you want to achieve and what is most important to you, for example:
We cannot guarantee that these options will reduce the overall cost of borrowing - this will depend on the on the interest rates you currently pay on your outstanding credit. We strongly recommend that you compare these with the the cost of our credit consolidation loan before deciding if this product is right for you.
Please note that if you have an existing loan with us, and apply for a top-up loan, the loan offered to you will be at the credit consolidation rate if either your existing loan or new loan application is for this purpose. We would therefore recommend repaying any standard existing loans with us first before applying for this product.
Please talk to us about whether consolidating your debt with us could save you money and help you clear your outstanding balances.
