We’ll confirm your loan amount and rate at the start of your application with no harm to your credit rating. All this if you’re a Royal Bank of Scotland current account customer and applying in your name only.

Apply for a loan online in minutes

It only takes around 10 minutes to apply online and we'll pre-fill some of your application to make it easier. We'll ask you to log in to Digital Banking so have your details handy.

Money in your account quickly

You could get your loan funds the same day if you apply online and are unconditionally accepted before 5.45 Mon-Fri. Sometimes we need to contact you for more information, so it can take a little longer.

Loan repayment terms

This is the length of time you can take a loan over, depending on the amount you're borrowing and what it will be used for.

Can I repay my loan early?

We know things can change, so if you find you have a wee bit more money in your account, you can choose to repay your loan early. It's important to remember that you will pay an early repayment fee of up to 58 days interest to close the loan early (or the remaining number of days interest if there are less than 58 days left in the loan term).
