MBNA Personal Loans Overview

MBNA logo

MBNA started its business in 1982 in the UK as the Maryland Bank National Association. Its focus is to “make good stuff happen” for customers through credit cards and personal loans. In 2017, MBNA joined the Lloyds Banking group, and has grown more ever since.

An MBNA personal loan can help with personal expenses like vacations, weddings, and home improvements. Don’t let the cost scare you; you can calculate this with the MBNA personal loan calculator. That way, you can determine the monthly payment that best fits your budget.

Terms from 1 to 10 years. Representative example: 5 year £10,000 loan with comparison rates from 2.8% to 49.9% APR would cost between £10,728 and £27,321, including fees. The interest can vary between £728 and £17,321.
