How we rank personal loans

Always run a soft-search eligibility check before applying. Only 51% of accepted applicants get the representative rate. A hard-search hit is wasteful if you are likely to be offered a higher rate.

Loan or credit card?

For one-off borrowing above £3,000 spread over 24 months or more, a personal loan is almost always cheaper than a 0% credit card that reverts to a high rate. Loans also impose discipline — fixed payments and a fixed end date.
