How much can I borrow with a Santander personal loan?

Santander offer personal loans from £1,000 to £25,000, which can be across terms of 12 months to 5 years. Your eligibility for the amount that you are applying for will depend on your credit score and personal circumstances.

What interest rates will I get on a Santander personal loan?

Santander use representative rates. This means that the majority of rates on loans they provide will receive this rate. The interest rate on a loan offered to you will be dependent on your credit history and current financial status. This means that the rates will change depending on how risky the lenders view you. Higher credit scores may result in a lower APR and vice versa. A lower APR will also mean your monthly repayments will be lower.
