Tesco FAQs

How long will it take to get my loan?

If you apply online, Tesco will try to deliver an instant decision to let you know whether you are accepted, will need to provide additional information or have been declined. If approved, you will need to sign a credit agreement in person or digitally. Afterwards, they will deposit the money to your bank account via Faster Payments, which can take up to 48 hours to reflect. If you apply over the phone, it can take between 5 – 10 days for Tesco to check everything. If your application is approved, they will send an agreement for you to sign and return to them. Once done, they will transfer the money to your bank account via Faster Payments.

Can you choose a repayment date?

Yes. Tesco allows borrowers to choose any date between the 1st and 25th of the month. Just note that the first payment must be made between 15 and 45 days after you receive the money.

What is the difference between repaying a loan early and making additional payments?

Repaying your loan early means you will settle and close the loan at once. This will require you to pay an early settlement fee of up to 2 months’ interest.
Meanwhile, in making additional payments, you “overpay” instalments during the loan term. When you loan with Tesco, making additional payments is free of charge.
