Information Message

Could a different loan amount cut your interest rate?

A small change in the size of your loan could make a big difference to the total interest you pay.

That’s because the interest rate depends not just on your circumstances, but on how much you borrow.

(Remember, only borrow what you need.)

Information Message

You can borrow for more than one purpose on the same loan. For example should you be looking to consolidate debt and do some home improvements you can do this under the one loan application. Your loan purpose should be selected as the purpose that will make up at least 50% of the borrowing purpose. Should you be borrowing for multiple purposes and no element makes up more than 50% of the borrowing then the loan purpose should be your largest expenditure of the funds.
