What can a personal loan be used for?

Personal loans can be used for practically any legal function such as paying for tuition fees, debt consolidation, a holiday, a boat, kitchen renovations and even a car.

How do they work?

Personal loans are a relatively basic kind of financial product. Consumers can borrow a specific amount of money which is required to be paid back with interest (in equal repayments) over the term of the loan.

Types of personal loans
  • Secured - tied to an asset (like a car or boat) which is as collateral if you fail to make your repayments.
  • Unsecured - not tied to an asset and therefore offers no security to the bank if you are unable to make repayments.
  • . If a loan is secured this means that it will be tied to an asset, which can be reposed if you fail to make your repayments. Unsecured loans are collateral free and therefore tend to have higher interest rates.
Unlike other forms of finance (such as a credit card), personal loans are generally cheaper as they have lower interest rates.
