Secured Loan

Make your savings work for you

Many of our members find it easier to repay a loan than to replace savings. For these members, a Secured Loan makes good sense.

Rate 6.0% (6.15% APR)

Saving money can be difficult, it can take a lot of time and effort. So when it comes to a large purchase; perhaps a new car, a holiday, or some home improvements, many people are reluctant to cash-in on their savings.

A Secured Loan gives you access to the money you need, while allowing you to hold onto your savings. You can borrow any amount up to the value of your savings, and benefit from our lowest interest rate of just 6%. Your savings are then held as security against the loan.

  • Keep your savings in place, and retain your free Life Savings Insurance (T&Cs apply)
  • Take a loan, and get free Loan Protection Insurance (T&Cs apply)
  • You can choose to pay off all or part of the loan at any time using your savings, without penalty

We approve 95%* of all loan applications at very competitive rates, with no hidden fees, charges or penalties, ever!
